Fire rated sealant in Upton, done properly
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. We work on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and door frames, and people most often call us about holes left by a change of layout and fire seals that have cracked with movement.
Somewhere as small as Upton, 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 one-year guarantee.

Fire rated sealant around Upton
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Upton, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Upton has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Haylands Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Community buildings like Church of St. Michael and All Angels are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Upton, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any tricky access

Landlord and commercial work in Upton
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
When to call us in Upton
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
If you let a flat or house near Smallbrook Junction station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

What affects the quote in Upton
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Access and height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much there is to do
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
