Commercial buildings in Shermanbury
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.
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Giles, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Shermanbury
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Jolesfield CofE Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

FAQs for Shermanbury
Can you do fire rated sealant in Shermanbury?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Shermanbury is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is fire rated sealant in Shermanbury guaranteed?
All our work, in Shermanbury and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. Our work is the gap around the frame, and we will mention anything we notice about the door.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shermanbury
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. In a small place like Shermanbury, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The rough size of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The address or postcode of the job
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Shermanbury, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
