Fire rated sealant in Sandhurst
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We’re often asked to deal with open gaps behind door architraves and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, across plasterboard & masonry, door frames and linear gaps.
For a small place like Sandhurst, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What we are called out for in Sandhurst
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open gaps behind door architraves
If you look after a building such as Sandhurst Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
FAQs for Sandhurst
I let a flat near Robertsbridge station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Sandhurst within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used, so you have it on file.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we will plan around it.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.

We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. The job usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we explain the cure time before we leave.

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. In a small place like Sandhurst, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

Commercial buildings in Sandhurst
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Letting a property close to Robertsbridge station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
