DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Fire rated sealant in Sutton at Hone, done properly
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. We work on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are fire seals that have cracked with movement and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment.
For a small place like Sutton at Hone, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
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.
Fire rated sealant in Sutton at Hone: 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, 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 landlords with property near Farningham Road station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For buildings such as Church of St John the Baptist, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What else we do in Sutton at Hone
What happens if it’s left?
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Older cottages and farmhouses around Sutton at Hone can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Sutton at Hone
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
If you look after a building such as Sutton-At-Hone Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Before you book anyone
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
