About our fire rated sealant in Punnett's Town
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, we can put it right, on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and service penetrations alike.
In a village or hamlet like Punnett's Town, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.

Workplaces and buildings in Punnett's Town

We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For landlords with property near Stonegate station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Managing a site like Punnetts Town Community Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Punnett's Town, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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.
