When to call us in Aldingbourne
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Schools such as Aldingbourne Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
Before you book anyone
- How much experience the applicator has
- How long the guarantee is
- What product goes in the joint
- What happens if the job turns out different
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Aldingbourne, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes.
Workplaces and buildings in Aldingbourne
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Letting a property close to Barnham station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Mary, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach, and we’ll tell you.
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Questions from Aldingbourne
Do you work for landlords with property near Barnham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Aldingbourne?
Yes, Aldingbourne is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
