Fire rated sealant in Furnace Green
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That is the part we focus on. If you have cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and linear gaps at the head of walls, we can help, whatever the surface.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like Furnace Green have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
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. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a job in Furnace Green, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- 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.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Commercial buildings in Furnace Green
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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. Furnace Green is part of Crawley, one of the post-war new towns. Crawley was planned with its own industrial and business areas, so there are offices, units and workplaces not far from home. Their washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints need the same upkeep as anywhere.
Rented homes near Three Bridges station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Brook Infant School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Furnace Green: your questions answered

Yes, Furnace Green is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Furnace Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

How much does fire rated sealant cost in Furnace Green?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
What fire rating will the seal have?
That is not something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it, recording the locations and products.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Common problems we fix in Furnace Green
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Community buildings like St Andrew's Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
