Commercial buildings in Canewdon
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Schools such as King Edmund School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For buildings such as Church of St Nicholas, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Holes left by a change of layout
If you let a flat or house near Althorne station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

FAQs for Canewdon
Do you cover Canewdon for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Canewdon is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Canewdon within the area you cover?
Yes, Canewdon is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Flats and HMOs
Conversions usually leave a mix of old and new service holes. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and the locations noted.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in with backing where the detail needs it.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere like Canewdon needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.

Advice
What affects the quote in Canewdon
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- The type of property
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
