Signs you need fire rated sealant in Crockerhill
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
For landlords with property near Barnham station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Crockerhill
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. Typical jobs include holes left by a change of layout and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Crockerhill, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the property is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Why act early in Crockerhill
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Around Crockerhill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the sealant bonds.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Crockerhill: your questions answered
I let a flat near Barnham station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Crockerhill in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Crockerhill is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Bigger jobs take longer.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Crockerhill?
We don’t 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.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Fire rated sealant in Crockerhill: local notes
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Tangmere Primary Academy, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Mary, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
