When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Workplaces and buildings in Hardham
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Botolph's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you look after a building such as St James' CofE Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For landlords with property near Pulborough station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Hardham questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Pulborough station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Hardham in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hardham is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We work from the specification you give us, and apply each product to its tested details.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Hardham
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The type of sealant required
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The amount of work
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the property is
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both from the manufacturer’s details.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail, and tell you if sealant alone isn’t the right fix.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can be quoted together.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Why act early in Hardham
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hardham can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Hardham 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.
- 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.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
