How we handle fire rated sealant in Great Stonar
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. Common call-outs are for door frames with gaps between frame and wall and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Great Stonar, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Older cottages and farmhouses around Great Stonar can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t and we’ll tell you which one you have.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Great Stonar?
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sandwich Infant School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What affects the quote in Great Stonar
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether the work is at height
- The amount of work
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- If someone has resealed it before
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that’s easy.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Great Stonar: your questions answered
Is Great Stonar within the area you cover?
Yes, Great Stonar is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sandwich station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It looks sealed but will not perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
