Fire rated sealant in Crockham Hill
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. If you have seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, we can help.
For a small place like Crockham Hill, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
Fire rated sealant in Crockham Hill: local notes
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 buildings such as Holy Trinity Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.

What we cannot put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
When to call us in Crockham Hill
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Letting a property close to Edenbridge station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Can you match the sealant colour?

Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
