Lambourne Fire Rated Sealant
Fire rated sealant across Lambourne and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Fire rated sealant in Lambourne, done properly
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. If you’re dealing with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and linear gaps at the head of walls, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Lambourne, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Lambourne
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Schools such as Lambourne Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Leave it or put it right?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In a small place like Lambourne, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

Workplaces and buildings in Lambourne
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.
Community buildings like Parish Church of St Mary and All Saints are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Common questions in Lambourne
Will you come out to Lambourne?
Yes, Lambourne is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Lambourne in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Lambourne is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Lambourne?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Lambourne, 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.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
