Fire-rated sealant in Clapham, West Sussex
Professional fire rated sealant in and around Clapham, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
What happens if it’s left?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Older cottages and farmhouses around Clapham can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Clapham
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; 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’re often asked to deal with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and door frames.
In a village or hamlet like Clapham, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot and we will tell you which one you have.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
Questions from Clapham
Is Clapham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Goring-By-Sea station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, assessment is not something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Clapham?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use and we plan access around the people using them. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. 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.

Advice
Workplaces and buildings in Clapham
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Goring-By-Sea station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Mary, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Clapham and Patching CofE Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The product the joint needs
- The amount of work
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

What else we do in Clapham
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Clapham
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
