Fire rated sealant in Potter's Green, done properly
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on service penetrations, door frames and pipe & cable gaps, and the jobs we see most are cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and holes left by a change of layout.
Work in a small place like Potter's Green is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Potter's Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

Can I do it myself?
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. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Workplaces and buildings in Potter's Green
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.
Managing a site like Buxted CofE Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For landlords with property near Buxted station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Potter's Green
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Potter's Green
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

- Is VAT in the price?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- The length of the guarantee
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
