What we’re called out for in Stone
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.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Francis, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Fire rated sealant in Stone, done properly
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. We work on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations, and people most often call us about fire stopping disturbed by later work and open joints along the top of partitions.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Stone, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before any work starts so residents know what to expect.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Stone, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

FAQs for Stone
Is Stone within the area you cover?
Yes. Stone is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Stone?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
What affects the quote in Stone
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the property is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Around Stone, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

Commercial buildings in Stone
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Stone, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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.
In and around Stone, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
