What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Any mould that needs treating
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the job is, and your postcode

About our fire rated sealant in Waltham Chase
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. We’re often asked to deal with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, across service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs.
In a village or hamlet like Waltham Chase, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What we are called out for in Waltham Chase
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
If you let a flat or house near Botley station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
What to look for in a quote
- How long to leave it before use
- Is VAT in the price?
- How hidden problems are handled
- What insurance they hold
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance to keep disruption down.
How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a village or hamlet like Waltham Chase, 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.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare

What happens if it’s left?
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 Waltham Chase can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Workplaces and buildings in Waltham Chase
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.
If you look after a building such as St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Waltham Chase Methodist Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
