What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
We quote each job on its own. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Shootash
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps, and people most often call us about sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Shootash, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Shootash as everywhere else we work.

Workplaces and buildings in Shootash
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Shootash
Do you cover smaller places like Shootash?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Romsey station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we will plan the work to suit.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Shootash?
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
If you let a flat or house near Romsey station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- How the colour is chosen
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What insurance they hold
What happens if it’s left?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we will tell you. In a small place like Shootash, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
Why book with us
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Homes, businesses and hotels

Advice
Surface by surface
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth with backing where the detail needs it.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
