About our fire rated sealant in Ardingly
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. Common call-outs are for damaged fire sealant left by other trades and open gaps behind door architraves, across pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and door frames.
Work in a small place like Ardingly is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Fire rated sealant around Ardingly
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as St Peter's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For landlords with property near Balcombe station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What happens if it’s left?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ardingly can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Surface by surface
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 will tell you.
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.
Common problems we fix in Ardingly
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Peter's CofE Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
