About our fire rated sealant in Flishinghurst
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you have unsealed gaps around fire door frames and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Flishinghurst, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Flishinghurst
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Look out for any of the following:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Colliers Green Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Flishinghurst questions
Will you come out to Flishinghurst?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Marden station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Why act early in Flishinghurst
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Older cottages and farmhouses around Flishinghurst can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Flishinghurst, 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 begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for the gap we are sealing.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
