Fire rated sealant in Stone Hill: 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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Sellindge Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Leave it or put it right?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stone Hill can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Questions from Stone Hill
Do you cover smaller places like Stone Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Westenhanger station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
