About our fire rated sealant in Steeple
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you are dealing with sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Steeple, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance to keep disruption down.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.

Steeple questions
Is Steeple within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Southminster station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we will agree it with you first.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not issue ratings or certificates ourselves. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in so it’s there for the next inspection.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
What happens if it’s left?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Around Steeple, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Fire rated sealant around Steeple
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Steeple, 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Southminster station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Lawrence and All Saints, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
