Fire Rated Sealant in East Stratton

- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in East Stratton
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on flats & HMOs, door frames and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and fire seals that have cracked with movement.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near East Stratton, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How we’d reach the joints
- Roughly how big the job is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
When to call us in East Stratton
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.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
For buildings such as Church of All Saints, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What the cure time is
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How much experience the applicator has
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry

How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach, and we will tell you.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions generally leave a mix of old and new service holes. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and the locations noted.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on how much there is to do. In a small place like East Stratton, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- 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.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Fire rated sealant in East Stratton: local notes
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.
For landlords with property near Micheldever station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like East Stratton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.

Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
