- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.

- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.

Common problems we fix in Ropley
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
For buildings such as Church of St Peter, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

FAQs for Ropley
Is there a guarantee on fire rated sealant in Ropley?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Ropley for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Ropley is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Why deal with it now?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a small place like Ropley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before we start.
Why Ropley customers choose us

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both from the manufacturer’s details.
