FAQs for Sinkhurst Green
Can you do fire rated sealant in Sinkhurst Green?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Sinkhurst Green is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Headcorn station?

Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will tell you when we quote.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Sinkhurst Green, along with the rest of our area.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Sinkhurst Green, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- 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.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Fire rated sealant in Sinkhurst Green: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
If you let a flat or house near Headcorn station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Schools such as Frittenden Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
When to call us in Sinkhurst Green
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
