Fire rated sealant in Ivy Hatch
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you have door frames with gaps between frame and wall and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, we can put it right.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Ivy Hatch, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Linear gaps

- Plasterboard & masonry
Do you need fire rated sealant in Ivy Hatch?
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Rented homes near Borough Green & Wrotham station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Why act early in Ivy Hatch
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ivy Hatch can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before any work starts to keep disruption down.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.

Ivy Hatch questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Borough Green & Wrotham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Ivy Hatch?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Fire rated sealant around Ivy Hatch
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Lawrence Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For buildings such as Ivy Hatch Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
