About our fire rated sealant in Adversane
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and door frames with gaps between frame and wall.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Adversane, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Commercial buildings in Adversane
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.
If you look after a building such as The Weald School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you let a flat or house near Billingshurst station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Adversane
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Adversane
Do you cover smaller places like Adversane?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Billingshurst station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, 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 as small as Adversane, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
