Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Around Jevington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Fire rated sealant around Jevington
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Jevington, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Willingdon Community School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For landlords with property near Polegate station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

FAQs for Jevington
Can you do fire rated sealant in Jevington?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Jevington is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Jevington?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Common problems we fix in Jevington
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
The most common problems we see are:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Open joints along the top of partitions
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Andrew, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What preparation is included
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The amount of work
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property
- Where the property is
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Jevington needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
