Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Cop Street
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on door frames, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are fire seals that have cracked with movement and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey.
For a small place like Cop Street, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in.
How the visit works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Cop Street, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Common questions in Cop Street
Do you cover Cop Street for fire rated sealant?

Do you work for landlords with property near Sandwich station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Cop Street?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Cop Street, along with the rest of our area.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
Other services in Cop Street
Why it’s worth doing now in Cop Street
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Around Cop Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Fully insured
- Old sealant always removed completely
How we quote for fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The type of property
- Where the property is
Need a quote? Please call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details. We’ll explain what we’d do and give you a clear price before any work starts.
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry

Commercial buildings in Cop 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For landlords with property near Sandwich station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Community buildings like Church of St Nicholas are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you look after a building such as Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
