About our fire rated sealant in Four Throws
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That’s the part we focus on. If you are dealing with open joints along the top of partitions and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, we can put it right.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Four Throws, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Why it’s worth doing now in Four Throws
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. Around Four Throws, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before work begins to keep disruption down.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.
Workplaces and buildings in Four Throws
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details. Four Throws has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
For buildings such as Church of All Saints, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you look after a building such as Hawkhurst Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Letting a property close to Etchingham station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Common questions in Four Throws
Do you work in hotels near Four Throws?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Will you come out to Four Throws?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
