Fire rated sealant around Staplecross
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Staplecross Methodist Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Rented homes near Robertsbridge station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For buildings such as St Marks Staplecross, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Staplecross
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Common call-outs are for door frames with gaps between frame and wall and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, across pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and linear gaps.
In a village or hamlet like Staplecross, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.

When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Staplecross
I let a flat near Robertsbridge station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Staplecross in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Staplecross is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We will tell you when we quote.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates aren’t something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What affects the quote in Staplecross
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints

- Roughly how big the job is

Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Staplecross, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Other services in Staplecross
Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before the sealant goes in.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and record where they are.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
