Do you cover Halfway Street for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Halfway Street is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will tell you when we quote.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Fire rated sealant in Halfway Street, done properly
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you are dealing with unsealed gaps around fire door frames and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, we can help, on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and door frames alike.
Work in a small place like Halfway Street is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Workplaces and buildings in Halfway Street
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.
For buildings such as Church of St Andrew, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement from the manufacturer’s details.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Halfway Street?
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Letting a property close to Shepherds Well station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
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 normally a straightforward job.
Why it’s worth doing now in Halfway Street
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In a small place like Halfway Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

What affects the quote in Halfway Street

- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- How we’d reach the joints
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The problem you’ve noticed

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job. Somewhere like Halfway Street needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- 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.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
