About our fire rated sealant in Hinxhill
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. If you have linear gaps at the head of walls and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can put it right, on door frames, linear gaps and flats & HMOs alike.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Hinxhill, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Hinxhill
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a building such as Brook Community Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you let a flat or house near Ashford International station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

FAQs for Hinxhill
Is Hinxhill within the area you cover?
Yes, Hinxhill is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Ashford International station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product, installed to its details.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
Why act early in Hinxhill
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hinxhill can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

When to call us in Hinxhill
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Open joints along the top of partitions
Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
What to look for in a quote
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Is VAT in the price?
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they’re fully insured
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. Somewhere like Hinxhill needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
