How we handle fire rated sealant in Crofton
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and damaged fire sealant left by other trades.
Work in a small place like Crofton is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

FAQs for Crofton
Is Crofton within the area you cover?
Yes. Crofton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Fareham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant, and the choice depends on the gap.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The size of the job
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
If you are in Crofton and need fire rated sealant, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Crofton
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Surface by surface
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Crofton, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Fire rated sealant in Crofton: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Crofton, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
Rented homes near Fareham station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Managing a site like Crofton School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Crofton?
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Community buildings like Peel Common Mission Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they hold
- What preparation is included
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
What happens if it’s left?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Crofton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
