Fire rated sealant in Hamsey Green
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated.
Work in a small place like Hamsey Green is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and the area is left clean. In a small place like Hamsey Green, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap 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.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access

Related advice
What we are called out for in Hamsey Green
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
The most common problems we see are:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
For buildings such as St Antony, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How hidden problems are handled
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we will tell you.
Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hamsey Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Tidy, careful work

Common questions in Hamsey Green
I let a flat near Upper Warlingham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Hamsey Green?
Yes. Hamsey Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine and we plan access around the people using them. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Hamsey Green
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
- The size of the job
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- The type of property
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we will tell you which one you have.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
