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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Hinton Waldrist
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; 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 door frames, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about door frames with gaps between frame and wall and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey.
Work in a small place like Hinton Waldrist is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What we’re called out for in Hinton Waldrist
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
The most common problems we see are:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Managing a site like Longworth Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is VAT in the price?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
What fire rated sealant looks like in Hinton Waldrist
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.
For buildings such as Church of St Margaret, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
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.
Hinton Waldrist questions
Will you come out to Hinton Waldrist?
Yes. Hinton Waldrist is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is there a guarantee on fire rated sealant in Hinton Waldrist?
All our work, in Hinton Waldrist and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
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 list the locations and products for you.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we’ll flag it.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before applying the sealant.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere as small as Hinton Waldrist, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
