How we handle fire rated sealant in Little Wakering
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you have gaps left after a refit or conversion and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Little Wakering, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Commercial buildings in Little Wakering
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Little Wakering, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Great Wakering Primary Academy are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For buildings such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For landlords with property near Thorpe Bay station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Why deal with it now?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that does not depend on other work. Around Little Wakering, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

- Access and height
- Any mould that needs treating
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises

Questions from Little Wakering
Do you cover Little Wakering for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Little Wakering is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Little Wakering within the area you cover?
Yes. Little Wakering is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
That isn’t something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it with a record of each location.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Little Wakering, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- 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
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any tricky access
