How we handle fire rated sealant in Chaldon
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. Typical jobs include sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and gaps left after a refit or conversion, on linear gaps, service penetrations and flats & HMOs.
Somewhere as small as Chaldon, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system

Why it’s worth doing now in Chaldon
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chaldon, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
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 any work starts so residents know what to expect.
What affects the quote in Chaldon
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Chaldon?
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.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
If you let a flat or house near Caterham station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Chaldon questions
I let a flat near Caterham station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Chaldon?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we will plan the work to suit.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Chaldon?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Fire rated sealant around Chaldon
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as St Peter and St Paul CofE Infant School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For buildings such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building from start to finish. In a small place like Chaldon, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
