Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Cranbrook
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. We work on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like Cranbrook have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on how much there is to do. In a smaller place like Cranbrook, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Assessing a building’s fire safety

Do you need fire rated sealant in Cranbrook?
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Congregational Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Commercial buildings in Cranbrook
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.
Managing a site like Cranbrook School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Cranbrook questions
Is Cranbrook in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Cranbrook is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Cranbrook?
Yes, Cranbrook is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
