Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Trolliloes
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We are often asked to deal with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and open gaps behind door architraves, across door frames, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations.
Somewhere as small as Trolliloes, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
Common questions in Trolliloes
Can you do fire rated sealant in Trolliloes?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Trolliloes is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Trolliloes?
Yes. Trolliloes is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
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. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Trolliloes, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided 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.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
Getting a quote

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- The type of sealant required
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The rough size of the job
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we’ll flag it.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Trolliloes
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, 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.
In and around Trolliloes, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What happens if it’s left?
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Around Trolliloes, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
