When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Fire rated sealant in St Helen's
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; 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, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. If you have joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, we can help.
In a smaller place like St Helen's, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in St Helen's
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
Look out for these signs:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Schools such as Ark Blacklands Primary Academy are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and the area is left clean. In a smaller place like St Helen's, 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 go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access

St Helen's: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Ore station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is St Helen's within the area you cover?
Yes, St Helen's is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover St Helen's, along with the rest of our area.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Fire rated sealant in St Helen's: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like St Helen's, 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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Peter & St Paul, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Letting a property close to Ore station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
