What fire rated sealant looks like in Sandhurst Cross
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Letting a property close to Robertsbridge station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For buildings such as Church of St Nicholas, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Managing a site like Sandhurst Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Sandhurst Cross
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; 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 follow the tested detail for each one. Typical jobs include open gaps behind door architraves and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, across plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs.
For a small place like Sandhurst Cross, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What affects the quote in Sandhurst Cross
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The size of the job
- Any working-time requirements on site
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it’s a home or a business
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Sandhurst Cross, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. Older cottages and farmhouses around Sandhurst Cross can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Sandhurst Cross
Will you come out to Sandhurst Cross?

Is Sandhurst Cross in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Sandhurst Cross is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we’ll mention anything we notice about the door.
What fire rating will the seal have?
That is not something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
