Why deal with it now?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Etchingwood, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Etchingwood
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
In a village or hamlet like Etchingwood, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Etchingwood and everywhere else we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Etchingwood
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Commercial buildings in Etchingwood
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For landlords with property near Buxted station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Etchingwood, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Move anything stored near the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Etchingwood
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Managing a site like Uckfield College? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What to look for in a quote
- What product goes in the joint
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Are they insured?
What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
