DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Lingfield
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about old fire sealant that has split or come away and door frames with gaps between frame and wall.
In a smaller place like Lingfield, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Lingfield
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St Peter and St Paul are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Managing a site like Lingfield Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Common questions in Lingfield
Do you cover Lingfield for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Lingfield is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is Lingfield within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated, helping close the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not 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.
What happens if it’s left?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. In an older home around Lingfield, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Lingfield
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
If you let a flat or house near Lingfield station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Questions to ask before you book

- What guarantee comes with the work

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
