What fire rated sealant looks like in Cooper Street
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.
Schools such as Sir Roger Manwood's School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Fire rated sealant in Cooper Street, done properly
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We work on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are new service routes left unsealed after building work and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Cooper Street, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job. In a small place like Cooper Street, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before applying the sealant.
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We work through the gaps on your assessment.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Cooper Street?
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Letting a property close to Sandwich station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

FAQs for Cooper Street
I let a flat near Sandwich station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Cooper Street?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed and we can apply it for you.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. The order of work and access are planned with you.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. In a small place like Cooper Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
