Fire rated sealant in Lower Willingdon, done properly
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over. We work on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are new service routes left unsealed after building work and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
In a smaller place like Lower Willingdon, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Fire rated sealant in Lower Willingdon: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Willingdon Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Letting a property close to Polegate station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

What else we do in Lower Willingdon
Why act early in Lower Willingdon
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. In an older home around Lower Willingdon, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in with backing where the detail needs it.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach, and we will tell you.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Lower Willingdon
Do you work for landlords with property near Polegate station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Lower Willingdon?
Yes, Lower Willingdon is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Lower Willingdon and the rest of East Sussex.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Lower Willingdon?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. Our work is the gap around the frame.
What we’re called out for in Lower Willingdon
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
For buildings such as St Wilfrid, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What affects the quote in Lower Willingdon
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The size of the job

Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it has been sealed before
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.
The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. A visit to Lower Willingdon is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- 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.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
