About our fire rated sealant in Weston
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor on buildings across Weston. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. If you have gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, we can help.
Around a place like Weston, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Parking around Weston is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Weston
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Weston, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as Weston Shore Infant School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Letting a property close to Sholing station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Weston
I let a flat near Sholing station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you work in hotels near Weston?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Weston?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, we don’t assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Why act early in Weston
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. In an older home around Weston, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Weston?
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.
The most common problems we see are:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
For buildings such as Holy Trinity Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What the job involves on each surface

A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We work through the gaps on your assessment room by room.
