Your questions about fire rated sealant in Staplestreet
Can you do fire rated sealant in Staplestreet?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Staplestreet is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Staplestreet within the area you cover?
Yes, Staplestreet is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product following the tested details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Staplestreet
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. If you’re dealing with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and holes left by a change of layout, we can put it right, on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and door frames alike.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Staplestreet, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Staplestreet
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.
Letting a property close to Selling station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a building such as Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
For a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before work begins.
Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t and we will tell you which one you have.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a village or hamlet like Staplestreet, the journey is planned in advance: 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 faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Common problems we fix in Staplestreet
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open joints along the top of partitions
Community buildings like Church of St Michael are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
