Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length so there are no open sections left.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before the sealant goes in.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Durrants
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with holes left by a change of layout and open joints along the top of partitions, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Durrants, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Durrants, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Durrants
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the job
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
To get a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Why it’s worth doing now in Durrants
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Older cottages and farmhouses around Durrants can have timber 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 much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

- 12-month guarantee on every job

What fire rated sealant looks like in Durrants
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Durrants, 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, 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.
Schools such as Havant Academy are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you let a flat or house near Rowlands Castle station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like St John the Baptist are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, we do not assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
