Fire rated sealant in Scaynes Hill
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you are dealing with gaps left after a refit or conversion and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Scaynes Hill, 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.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. Somewhere like Scaynes Hill needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and agents in Scaynes Hill can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
What affects the quote in Scaynes Hill
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The product the joint needs
- How much there is to do
- When we can work, for business premises
- Access and height
Rather than a set price list, 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
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We’ll give you a clear price before any work starts.
When to call us in Scaynes Hill
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Managing a site like St Augustine's CofE Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Workplaces and buildings in Scaynes Hill
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Augustine of Canterbury, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you let a flat or house near Haywards Heath station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Scaynes Hill questions
Is Scaynes Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Haywards Heath station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame, and we’ll mention anything we notice about the door.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
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.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we will agree it with you first.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
