Fire-rated sealant in Danehill, West Sussex
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Danehill? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.

Fire rated sealant in Danehill, done properly
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and service penetrations, and people most often call us about sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and door frames with gaps between frame and wall.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Danehill, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Questions from Danehill
Do you work for landlords with property near Haywards Heath station?
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 will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like Danehill?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Which products 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 tell you what we’re using.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Common problems we fix in Danehill
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
If you look after a building such as Danehill Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building

Leave it or put it right?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In a small place like Danehill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us

Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We work along the whole run so there are no open sections left.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. Somewhere as small as Danehill, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Commercial buildings in Danehill
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Haywards Heath station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like The Parish Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
