Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Salehurst
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. Common call-outs are for damaged fire sealant left by other trades and open gaps behind door architraves, on linear gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs.
In a village or hamlet like Salehurst, 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.

Salehurst: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Salehurst?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Robertsbridge station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
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.
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. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Salehurst
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. Salehurst has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Salehurst Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you let a flat or house near Robertsbridge station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal

Why act early in Salehurst
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. 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 Salehurst, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How much there is to do
- Access and height
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Roughly how big the job is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Photos by email, if that is easy
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we will flag it.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
When to call us in Salehurst
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
The most common problems we see are:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St Mary, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Salehurst, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
