Fire rated sealant in Silver Hill, done properly
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. Typical jobs include fire stopping disturbed by later work and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, across linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps.
Work in a small place like Silver Hill is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Silver Hill, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Silver Hill questions
Do you cover Silver Hill for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Silver Hill is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Silver Hill?
Yes, Silver Hill is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant following the tested details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product, installed to its details.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Fire rated sealant in Silver Hill: local notes
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 Etchingham station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a building such as Hurst Green Church of England Primary School and Nursery, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Common problems we fix in Silver Hill
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
For buildings such as Holy Trinity, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether VAT is included
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
