Fire rated sealant in Tickleback Row
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you have ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, we can help.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Tickleback Row, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
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.
Tickleback Row: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Tickleback Row?
Yes, Tickleback Row is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bracknell station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Tickleback Row?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t 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.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal

Fire rated sealant around Tickleback Row
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Schools such as Garth Hill College are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
