About our fire rated sealant in Heath End
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. If you are dealing with open holes round services passing through fire walls and old fire sealant that has split or come away, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Heath End, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
Commercial buildings in Heath End
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as Church of the Holy Trinity, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Around Heath End, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What else we do in Heath End
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Heath End, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Heath End
Is Heath End within the area you cover?
Yes, Heath End is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Heath End?
Yes, Heath End is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Heath End and the rest of Oxfordshire, along with the rest of our area.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used for your files.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What happens if it’s left?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Around Heath End, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
