Workplaces and buildings in Flimwell
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like St Augustine's Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Landlord and commercial work in Flimwell
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Flimwell needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. 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.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- 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
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

What affects the quote in Flimwell
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The amount of work
- When we can work, for business premises
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is

Common problems we fix in Flimwell
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
For landlords with property near Etchingham station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- When the joint can take water or movement
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Conversions generally leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for the gap we’re sealing.
FAQs for Flimwell
I let a flat near Etchingham station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover Flimwell for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Flimwell is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Why act early in Flimwell
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Around Flimwell, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
