What fire rated sealant looks like in Lambs Green
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Rusper Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like St Mary Magdalene church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Lambs Green is about 3 miles west of Crawley, in West Sussex. Jobs in Lambs Green get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Our area takes in 371 places across West Sussex.

About our fire rated sealant in Lambs Green
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and door frames, and people most often call us about unsealed gaps around fire door frames and holes left by a change of layout.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Lambs Green, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like Lambs Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
What happens if it’s left?
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In a small place like Lambs Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Lambs Green questions
Do you cover smaller places like Lambs Green?
Yes. Lambs Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Lambs Green in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Lambs Green is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
What affects the quote in Lambs Green
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
- The product the joint needs
- Whether the work is at height
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property

For a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
What we are called out for in Lambs Green
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
For landlords with property near Faygate station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

- What product goes in the joint
