How we handle fire rated sealant in Ticehurst
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. We work on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and linear gaps, and people most often call us about gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant.
In a village or hamlet like Ticehurst, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Ticehurst, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist and we will mention anything we notice.
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We work along the whole run so there are no open sections left.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Ticehurst
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a building such as Ticehurst and Flimwell Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Mary's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Ticehurst questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Stonegate station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Ticehurst?
Yes. Ticehurst is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Ticehurst
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
If you let a flat or house near Stonegate station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How the colour is chosen
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Why it’s worth doing now in Ticehurst
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. In a small place like Ticehurst, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
