What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Fulking, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Fulking
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. If you have gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, we can help.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Fulking, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Fulking
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. 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 Fulking, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
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.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The type of property
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
