Fire rated sealant in East Lavington, done properly
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We work on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are open joints along the top of partitions and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap.
In a village or hamlet like East Lavington, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Do you need fire rated sealant in East Lavington?
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Open joints along the top of partitions
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St Peter, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and record where they are.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Common questions in East Lavington
Can you do fire rated sealant in East Lavington?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and East Lavington is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is there a guarantee on fire rated sealant in East Lavington?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used.
The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a village or hamlet like East Lavington, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Fire rated sealant in East Lavington: local notes

We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Graffham CofE Infant School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
