About our fire rated sealant in Upper Burgate
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That’s the part we focus on, one gap at a time. Typical jobs include fire seals that have cracked with movement and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, across plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and service penetrations.
Somewhere as small as Upper Burgate, 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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. In a small place like Upper Burgate, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- 20+ years of sealant experience

What affects the quote in Upper Burgate
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The size of the job
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 make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Upper Burgate needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Do you cover Upper Burgate for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Upper Burgate is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Will you come out to Upper Burgate?
Yes, Upper Burgate is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We’ll tell you when we quote.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Can tenants book the work?

Will it make a mess?

Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs

- Service penetrations
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance to keep disruption down.

What else we do in Upper Burgate
Workplaces and buildings in Upper Burgate
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.
For buildings such as Woodgreen Methodist Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as The Burgate School and Sixth Form are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
