Quotes for fire rated sealant in West Barnes
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- Any working-time requirements on site
Every job is a little different, 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, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How we’d reach the joints
- Roughly how big the job is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
About our fire rated sealant in West Barnes
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. Common call-outs are for fire stopping disturbed by later work and new service routes left unsealed after building work, across plasterboard & masonry, door frames and service penetrations.
Commercial work in London comes with its own logistics: loading restrictions, building rules and tight access. For a building in West Barnes, we agree timings and access before anything starts.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What else we do in West Barnes
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
What happens if it’s left?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in West Barnes.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Full insurance on every job
- Homes, businesses and hotels

Fire rated sealant in West Barnes: local notes
Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed. 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 Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. As a London address, West Barnes can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. For landlords with property near Motspur Park station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in West Barnes
Do you cover West Barnes for fire rated sealant?
Yes, West Barnes is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.

What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and the area is left clean. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in West Barnes. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions
