- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Fire rated sealant in Palmarsh
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Typical jobs include seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, across linear gaps, service penetrations and flats & HMOs.
For a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Palmarsh, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.

What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the tidy-up. A visit to Palmarsh is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Fire rated sealant in Palmarsh: local notes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Palmarsh, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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.
Rented homes near Sandling station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For buildings such as Holy Cross, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Schools such as Palmarsh Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Other services in Palmarsh
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Leave it or put it right?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Around Palmarsh, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before work begins.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The address or postcode of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work.
FAQs for Palmarsh
Is Palmarsh in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Palmarsh is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Palmarsh?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
