- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Horns Green
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. Common call-outs are for gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and gaps left after a refit or conversion, across service penetrations, flats & HMOs and linear gaps.
Work in a small place like Horns Green is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

More services for Horns Green
Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Horns Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Access and height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Common questions in Horns Green
Do you cover smaller places like Horns Green?
Yes. Horns Green 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.
I let a flat near Knockholt station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
That is not something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Why act early in Horns Green
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we will tell you. In a small place like Horns Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
Why us?
- We never seal over old sealant
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Tidy, careful work
- 20+ years of sealant experience
Fire rated sealant around Horns Green
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.
Schools such as Charles Darwin School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For landlords with property near Knockholt station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For buildings such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
