About our fire rated sealant in Castle Hill
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and door frames with gaps between frame and wall.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Castle Hill, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Commercial buildings in Castle 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Community buildings like Parish Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Rented homes near Paddock Wood station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Castle Hill questions
Is Castle Hill in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Castle Hill is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near Paddock Wood station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service, or ask us to do it.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We work from the specification you give us, and apply each product to its tested details.
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Older cottages and farmhouses around Castle Hill can have timber 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.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in Castle Hill
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried particularly when it was the last job before handover.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
If you look after a building such as Brenchley and Matfield Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
