DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
About our fire rated sealant in Pell Green
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on door frames, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Pell Green, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Pell Green: your questions answered
Is Pell Green in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Pell Green is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Wadhurst station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We will give you a better idea when we quote.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Pell Green needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Related advice
Surface by surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
What happens if it’s left?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Around Pell Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Pell Green
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many areas need sealing
- How much there is to do
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Fire rated sealant in Pell Green: local notes
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 Rehoboth Chapel, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Letting a property close to Wadhurst station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Schools such as Wadhurst CofE Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
