Why act early in Monk's Gate
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Around Monk's Gate, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- 12-month guarantee on every job

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Monk's Gate
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. If you have ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and open joints along the top of partitions, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Monk's Gate, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Monk's Gate as everywhere else we work.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Monk's Gate, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Commercial buildings in Monk's Gate
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Community buildings like Church of the Good Shepherd are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Rented homes near Horsham station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location. We will ask anything else we need to know.
What fire rating will the seal have?
That isn’t something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it, recording the locations and products.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
What we’re called out for in Monk's Gate
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Andrew's CofE Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- Who turns up on the day
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before any work starts.
