Fire rated sealant in Burgh Hill
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Common call-outs are for linear gaps at the head of walls and fire seals that have cracked with movement, on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps.
Somewhere as small as Burgh Hill, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Fire rated sealant around Burgh Hill
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.
For landlords with property near Etchingham station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Community buildings like Holy Trinity are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we’ll flag it.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number of rooms or windows
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work

- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details and send pictures if you have them.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
When to call us in Burgh Hill
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Etchingham Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Are they insured?
- When the joint can take water or movement
