How we handle fire rated sealant in The Stocks
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We are often asked to deal with fire stopping disturbed by later work and open holes round services passing through fire walls, on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
Somewhere as small as The Stocks, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in The Stocks
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The address or postcode of the job
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
What fire rated sealant looks like in The Stocks
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.
Managing a site like Wittersham Church of England Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you let a flat or house near Rye station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

The process
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like The Stocks, access is usually the main thing to plan. 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 and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any water getting in

Signs you need fire rated sealant in The Stocks
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Community buildings like Parish Church of St John the Baptist are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Landlord and commercial work in The Stocks
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
What happens if it’s left?
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. Older cottages and farmhouses around The Stocks can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before work begins.
