How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Singleton, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
What happens if it’s left?
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Older cottages and farmhouses around Singleton can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Singleton
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Singleton
Can you do fire rated sealant in Singleton?
Yes, Singleton is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Singleton?
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.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.

What else we do in Singleton
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs

Fire rated sealant around Singleton
Singleton has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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.
Schools such as Singleton CofE Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
