Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for the gap we’re sealing.
Fire rated sealant in Sutton Abinger
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and service penetrations, and people most often call us about unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated.
In a village or hamlet like Sutton Abinger, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Yes, Sutton Abinger is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Sutton Abinger?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame and we will tell you if we spot problems with the door.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer, and we install to them.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Sutton Abinger, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Fire rated sealant around Sutton Abinger
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.
Schools such as Belmont Prep School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St James, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you let a flat or house near Gomshall station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
If you manage several properties in or around Sutton Abinger, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
What we cannot put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
What happens if it’s left?
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In a small place like Sutton Abinger, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
