Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Binsted
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We’re often asked to deal with gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, across pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Binsted, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Workplaces and buildings in Binsted
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Binsted. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Ford station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How much there is to do
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The product the joint needs
- Working hours on commercial sites
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the job is, and your postcode

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What happens if it’s left?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Around Binsted, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Binsted?
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
If you look after a building such as Walberton and Binsted CofE Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Questions from Binsted
Do you work for landlords with property near Ford station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Binsted?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer; we install to those details and record what we did.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, we do not assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Binsted needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
