How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Fire rated sealant in The Platt
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. Common call-outs are for unsealed gaps around fire door frames and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, on door frames, flats & HMOs and linear gaps.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near The Platt, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as The Platt, 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.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Related advice
Signs you need fire rated sealant in The Platt
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
The most common problems we see are:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
If you look after a building such as Frant Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Before you book anyone
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether VAT is included
- What the cure time is
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Workplaces and buildings in The Platt
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Alban are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Letting a property close to Frant station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Common questions in The Platt
Will you come out to The Platt?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Frant station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Also in The Platt
Leave it or put it right?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. 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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like The Platt, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
