What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Pains-Hill
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We’re often asked to deal with holes left by a change of layout and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations.
Somewhere as small as Pains-Hill, 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.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Pains-Hill, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- 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.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
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.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Workplaces and buildings in Pains-Hill
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.
If you look after a building such as Limpsfield CofE Infant School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Rented homes near Hurst Green station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For buildings such as St Andrew's, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Pains-Hill
I let a flat near Hurst Green station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Pains-Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, Pains-Hill is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
