Hillyfields Fire Rated Sealant
Professional fire rated sealant in and around Hillyfields, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Why act early in Hillyfields
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Around Hillyfields, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.

Hillyfields: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Redbridge station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover smaller places like Hillyfields?
Yes. Hillyfields is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Hillyfields
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried particularly when it was the last job before handover.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
For buildings such as All Saints, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Who turns up on the day
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t and we’ll tell you which one you have.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Hillyfields
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Hillyfields, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Managing a site like Holy Family Catholic Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For landlords with property near Redbridge station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it.

A visit to Hillyfields 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.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
