Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in East Farleigh
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. We work on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are fire seals that have cracked with movement and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
Work in a small place like East Farleigh is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the tidy-up.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.

Common questions in East Farleigh
Is East Farleigh within the area you cover?
Yes. East Farleigh 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 cover East Farleigh for fire rated sealant?
Yes, East Farleigh is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Should I try DIY first?
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.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.

Fire rated sealant around East Farleigh
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, 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.
Schools such as East Farleigh Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Rented homes near East Farleigh station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Service penetrations

Common problems we fix in East Farleigh
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.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Open joints along the top of partitions
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of Saint Mary, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
