How we handle fire rated sealant in Blackstone
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. We work on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are old fire sealant that has split or come away and open holes round services passing through fire walls.
In a village or hamlet like Blackstone, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Workplaces and buildings in Blackstone
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Letting a property close to Hassocks station? Then 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 The Parish Church of St Bartholomew, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Older cottages and farmhouses around Blackstone can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth.
