Fire rated sealant in The Pound, done properly
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. If you’re dealing with gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and holes left by a change of layout, we can help, whatever the surface.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near The Pound, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Why it’s worth doing now in The Pound
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like The Pound, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as The Pound, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we will flag it.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
What affects the quote in The Pound
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- When we can work, for business premises
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The address or postcode of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The problem you’ve noticed
We don’t publish a price list. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Fire rated sealant around The Pound
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.
Community buildings like Parish Church of St Peter are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

The Pound questions
Is The Pound 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 work for landlords with property near Battle station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we will plan the work to suit.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Common problems we fix in The Pound
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
For landlords with property near Battle station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
Before you book anyone
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What product goes in the joint
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether you can choose the colour
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
