Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment, flat by flat if needed.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The product the joint needs
- Any mould that needs treating
- The size of the job
- The number of rooms or windows
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Photos by email, if that is easy
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Hassocks, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Parking around Hassocks is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
How to get a quote

Advice
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Hassocks questions
Is Hassocks within the area you cover?
Yes, Hassocks is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Hassocks station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
What do you put in the joint?
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.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we will plan around it.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Hassocks
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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Hassocks. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Francis of Assisi, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you look after a building such as Hassocks Infant School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For landlords with property near Hassocks station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
