DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Letting agents and landlords in Ockley can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Ockley questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ockley station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Ockley?
Yes, Ockley is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Can you seal over the 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.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Ockley?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.

Fire rated sealant around Ockley
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.
For buildings such as St John's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Ockley station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
Ockley is about 6 miles north of Horsham, in Surrey. Our applicators cover fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Ockley and nearby, as part of our work across Surrey.

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Ockley needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Ockley
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Which sealant suits the joint
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
