Common questions in Beacon Hill
Do you cover smaller places like Beacon Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Haslemere station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Fire rated sealant in Beacon Hill, done properly
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on linear gaps, door frames and service penetrations, and people most often call us about seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Beacon Hill, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Don’t 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 gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.

What else we do in Beacon Hill
How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Beacon Hill, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

Common problems we fix in Beacon Hill
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
For landlords with property near Haslemere station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether you can choose the colour
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, 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.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Beacon Hill
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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 church, hall or community building such as Church of St Alban, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Beacon Hill Community Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

When it isn’t the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor

Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before applying the sealant.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details.
