Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Russ Hill
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. If you have holes left by a change of layout and open gaps behind door architraves, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Russ Hill, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Russ Hill?
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
The most common problems we see are:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Nicholas, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

FAQs for Russ Hill
Do you take on hotel work around Russ Hill?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ifield station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We work from the specification you give us, and apply each product to its tested details.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard.
Workplaces and buildings in Russ Hill
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Russ Hill. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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, 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.
Managing a site like Charlwood Village Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Rented homes near Ifield station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How the visit works

After that, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

Why deal with it now?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Russ Hill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
