What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The type of sealant required
- Any mould that needs treating
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Upham
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you have unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, we can put it right.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Upham, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Upham needs a little journey planning: 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.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Upham
Can you do fire rated sealant in Upham?
Yes, Upham is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Hedge End station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Upham?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Why deal with it now?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. Older cottages and farmhouses around Upham can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified, flat by flat if needed.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required.
Workplaces and buildings in Upham
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.
Schools such as Upham Church of England Aided Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For landlords with property near Hedge End station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
