Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Heath Common
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are open holes round services passing through fire walls and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment.
For a small place like Heath Common, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Heath Common, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Fire rated sealant around Heath Common
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details. Heath Common has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. 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 Church of the Holy Sepulchre, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For landlords with property near Pulborough station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a building such as Thakeham Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t and we’ll tell you which one you have.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Access and height
- Which sealant suits the joint
Every job is a little different, 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.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Leave it or put it right?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Around Heath Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Heath Common
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Heath Common?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Is Heath Common within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.

As a guide, most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service, or ask us to do it.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
