Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Silverhill
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on linear gaps, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and open joints along the top of partitions.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Silverhill generally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement from the manufacturer’s details.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Silverhill
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a smaller place like Silverhill, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Related advice
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Silverhill
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Open gaps behind door architraves
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Christ Church CofE Primary and Nursery Academy, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Why it’s worth doing now in Silverhill
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. In a smaller place like Silverhill, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
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.

Fire rated sealant around Silverhill
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Silverhill, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Rented homes near St Leonards Warrior Square station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Community buildings like St Matthew's Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Silverhill questions
Do you take on hotel work around Silverhill?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
I let a flat near St Leonards Warrior Square station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used for your files.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer; we install to those details and record what we did.
