About our fire rated sealant in Hadlow Down
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, gap by gap. If you have fire stopping disturbed by later work and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, we can help, on service penetrations, door frames and flats & HMOs alike.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Hadlow Down, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are in most cases. Somewhere like Hadlow Down needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

When to call us in Hadlow Down
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
Rented homes near Buxted station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Who turns up on the day
- Is VAT in the price?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Is Hadlow Down within the area you cover?
Yes, Hadlow Down is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Leave it or put it right?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. In a small place like Hadlow Down, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Why us?
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- We never seal over old sealant

Fire rated sealant in Hadlow Down: 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.
Schools such as St Mark's Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Community buildings like St Mark's Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
