What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and the locations noted.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Hellingly
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. Typical jobs include unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, across door frames, flats & HMOs and linear gaps.
For a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Hellingly, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Hellingly
Do you work in hotels near Hellingly?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Polegate station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all, and the choice depends on the gap.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.

Common problems we fix in Hellingly
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hawkes Farm Academy, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
Questions to ask before you book

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
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, then guaranteed for a year.

We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. A visit to Hellingly is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear the area around the work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
