Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Bodiam
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. We work on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are open holes round services passing through fire walls and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
For a small place like Bodiam, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both from the manufacturer’s details.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a village or hamlet like Bodiam, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. In a small place like Bodiam, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Workplaces and buildings in Bodiam
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Bodiam Manor School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Giles are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Look out for any of the following:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
Rented homes near Robertsbridge station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
