Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Snowdown
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, and we can record what went where. Common call-outs are for fire seals that have cracked with movement and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, across service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps.
Work in a small place like Snowdown is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a village or hamlet like Snowdown, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided 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.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.

Advice
Common questions in Snowdown
Is Snowdown within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Snowdown for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Snowdown is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used, so you have it on file.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Snowdown
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The amount of work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Snowdown
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for each gap size.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment, flat by flat if needed.
Leave it or put it right?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In a small place like Snowdown, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Snowdown
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Snowdown station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Schools such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Peter, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
