How we handle fire rated sealant in Golden Cross
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you are dealing with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and holes left by a change of layout, we can put it right, on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and door frames alike.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Golden Cross, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Commercial buildings in Golden Cross
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
If you let a flat or house near Pevensey & Westham station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement from the manufacturer’s details.
What affects the quote in Golden Cross
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The product the joint needs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Roughly how big the job is
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We’ll give you a clear price before any work starts.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Golden Cross
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
Schools such as Herstmonceux Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is VAT in the price?
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What product goes in the joint
- What insurance they hold
How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Golden Cross, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Golden Cross, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Full insurance on every job
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- 20+ years of sealant experience

Should I try it myself first?
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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
