How we handle fire rated sealant in Tiddington
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and service penetrations, and people most often call us about standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment.
For a small place like Tiddington, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
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.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- How much there is to do
- How many areas need sealing
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Tiddington, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Tiddington
Can you do fire rated sealant in Tiddington?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Tiddington is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Tiddington 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.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Tiddington
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.
In and around Tiddington, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For buildings such as Church of St Helen, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
