Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and the locations noted.
Fire rated sealant in Moorstock
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 are dealing with unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can help.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Moorstock, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Moorstock
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
If you let a flat or house near Westenhanger station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For buildings such as Church of St Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What affects the quote in Moorstock
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The size of the job
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Where the property is
- How we’d reach the joints
- A few photos by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that is easy.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Moorstock?
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sellindge Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as Moorstock, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

FAQs for Moorstock
I let a flat near Westenhanger station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Moorstock within the area you cover?
Yes, Moorstock is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Moorstock?
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 take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
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 will plan the work to suit.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
