How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details.
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 and we will flag it.
Fire rated sealant in Gill's Green
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. 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. We are often asked to deal with gaps left after a refit or conversion and fire seals that have cracked with movement, on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps.
Somewhere as small as Gill's Green, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Gill's Green
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
For buildings such as Church of All Saints, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a village or hamlet like Gill's Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The size of the job
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any mould that needs treating
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
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
Gill's Green: your questions answered
Will you come out to Gill's Green?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Etchingham station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
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’ll tell you how long to expect.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Fire rated sealant in Gill's Green: local notes
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.
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. If you look after a building such as Marlborough House School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
