Fire rated sealant in Well End
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. Common call-outs are for gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and service penetrations.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Well End, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Well End: your questions answered
Is Well End within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Bourne End station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We will tell you when we quote.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Well End?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product fitted to the maker’s details.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine, with access planned around residents or staff. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Why it’s worth doing now in Well End
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. In a small place like Well End, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why book with us

How we quote for fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The type of sealant required
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Roughly how big the job is

Common problems we fix in Well End
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
Rented homes near Bourne End station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Well End
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as St Mark, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you look after a building such as Claytons Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
