What we are called out for in Crowhurst
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, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Managing a site like Crowhurst CofE Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Fire rated sealant in Crowhurst, done properly
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. Typical jobs include new service routes left unsealed after building work and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and flats & HMOs.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Crowhurst, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Crowhurst and everywhere else we cover.

Why act early in Crowhurst
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Crowhurst, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth with backing where the detail needs it.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are for a typical job. Somewhere like Crowhurst needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
