Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Catsfield
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That’s the part we focus on. We are often asked to deal with holes left by a change of layout and old fire sealant that has split or come away, across service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and door frames.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Catsfield, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Catsfield
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether the work is at height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The address or postcode of the job
- Roughly how big the job is
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Common questions in Catsfield
Do you work for landlords with property near Battle station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you come out to Catsfield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, assessment is not something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Catsfield?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Catsfield, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Leave it or put it right?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. In a small place like Catsfield, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Catsfield
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Catsfield Church of England Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Laurence, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Letting a property close to Battle station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
