Lindfield Fire Rated Sealant
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Lindfield. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a one-year guarantee.
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
About our fire rated sealant in Lindfield
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. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We work on door frames, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about new service routes left unsealed after building work and open gaps behind door architraves.
In a smaller place like Lindfield, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
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.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Lindfield
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
Community buildings like All Saints Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Before booking anyone
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Who turns up on the day
- When the joint can take water or movement
When it is not the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Fire rated sealant around Lindfield
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lindfield Primary Academy, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Rented homes near Haywards Heath station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Why act early in Lindfield
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Around Lindfield, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why Lindfield clients choose us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the sealant bonds.
What affects the quote in Lindfield
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The type of property
- If someone has resealed it before
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are in most cases. For a job in Lindfield, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
Getting a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Advice
Lindfield: your questions answered
Do you cover Lindfield for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Lindfield is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Haywards Heath station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
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.
