What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The amount of work
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

About our fire rated sealant in Wineham
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you are dealing with standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, we can put it right, on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and linear gaps alike.
In a village or hamlet like Wineham, 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 stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Common questions in Wineham
Is Wineham in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Wineham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Wineham?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all and which one is used depends on the job.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Landlord and commercial work in Wineham
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t and we will tell you which one you have.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Wineham

How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. Somewhere like Wineham needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Wineham
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St Peter, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
