Why it’s worth doing now in Netherfield
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. Older cottages and farmhouses around Netherfield can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will talk you through it.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Netherfield
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We’re often asked to deal with gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
Somewhere as small as Netherfield, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Netherfield, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap 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 children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
What affects the quote in Netherfield
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The rough size of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before work begins.
Fire rated sealant in Netherfield: local notes
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Netherfield CofE Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Community buildings like Church of St John are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you let a flat or house near Battle station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Common questions in Netherfield
Do you work for landlords with property near Battle station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.

Yes, Netherfield is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, assessment is not something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it with a record of each location.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What the job involves on each surface

Conversions normally leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
