Fire rated sealant in Rotherfield, done properly
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We’re often asked to deal with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and door frames.
In a village or hamlet like Rotherfield, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Common questions in Rotherfield
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Crowborough station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Rotherfield?
Yes, Rotherfield is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Rotherfield?
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Schools such as Rotherfield Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether they’re fully insured

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded.

What we can’t put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
Commercial buildings in Rotherfield
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.
Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Denys are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Letting a property close to Crowborough station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Rotherfield, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist and we will mention anything we notice.
