About our fire rated sealant in Potters Corner
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. We work on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are open joints along the top of partitions and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
Work in a small place like Potters Corner is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Questions from Potters Corner
I let a flat near Ashford International station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Potters Corner for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Potters Corner is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
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, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How we’d reach the joints
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Fire rated sealant in Potters Corner: 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Goat Lees Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Common problems we fix in Potters Corner
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
Letting a property close to Ashford International station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What product goes in the joint
- What happens if the job turns out different
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
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.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Potters Corner, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
