How we handle fire rated sealant in Hawbush Green
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. We work on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and door frames, and the jobs we see most are sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and fire seals that have cracked with movement.
For a small place like Hawbush Green, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Hawbush Green and everywhere else we cover.

Fire rated sealant in Hawbush Green: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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 Parish Church of All Saints, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you let a flat or house near Cressing station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Managing a site like Cressing Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we will say if we spot a problem with them.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Ask which product was used before you paint
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Why deal with it now?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we will tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hawbush Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Hawbush Green
Is Hawbush Green in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Hawbush Green is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Cressing station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Hawbush Green
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- Whether the work is at height
- The amount of work
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Hawbush Green 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.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
