How we handle fire rated sealant in St Mary in the Marsh
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and door frames, and the jobs we see most are unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and open joints along the top of partitions.
Work in a small place like St Mary in the Marsh is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
- Whether the work is at height
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.

Fire rated sealant in St Mary in the Marsh: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like St Mary in the Marsh, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as The Marsh Academy, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Common problems we fix in St Mary in the Marsh
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Open joints along the top of partitions
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How much experience the applicator has
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Why it’s worth doing now in St Mary in the Marsh
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Around St Mary in the Marsh, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
