- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Barnes Street
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you have open gaps behind door architraves and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can help, whatever the surface.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Barnes Street, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Barnes Street as everywhere else we work.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Fire rated sealant in Barnes Street: local notes
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Golden Green Mission Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as Hadlow Rural Community School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you let a flat or house near Beltring station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any working-time requirements on site
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
