About our fire rated sealant in Shutford
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are new service routes left unsealed after building work and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant.
For a small place like Shutford, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Shutford?
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Letting a property close to Banbury station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Shutford
Is Shutford within the area you cover?
Yes, Shutford is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Shutford in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Shutford is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. Our work is the gap around the frame and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That is not something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it, recording the locations and products.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use, with access planned around residents or staff. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shutford
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Why act early in Shutford
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Shutford, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Shutford needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
Fire rated sealant in Shutford: local notes
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, 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 St Martin are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
