How we handle fire rated sealant in Sandling
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. If you have joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Sandling, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.

Common questions in Sandling
Do you cover smaller places like Sandling?
Yes, Sandling is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Sandling in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Sandling is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it worth trying it myself?
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.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we will plan the work to suit.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are.

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

- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.

Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The address or postcode of the job
To get a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before we start.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
If you manage several properties in or around Sandling, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Fire rated sealant around Sandling
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Paul's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Rented homes near Maidstone East station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Managing a site like Sandling Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

How the job changes by surface

Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We work through the gaps on your assessment room by room.

What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Older cottages and farmhouses around Sandling can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
