- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Staplefield
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you’re dealing with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Staplefield, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

When to call us in Staplefield
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’re asked about most:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
If you look after a building such as St Mark's CofE Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before booking
- What product goes in the joint
- What insurance they hold
- How long the guarantee is
- How long to leave it before use
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that does not depend on other work. Around Staplefield, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product, installed to its details.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant following the tested details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Fire rated sealant around Staplefield
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St Mark, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you let a flat or house near Balcombe station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
