What fire rated sealant looks like in Tidebrook
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, 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 Wadhurst station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a building such as Uplands Community College, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

FAQs for Tidebrook
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Wadhurst station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Tidebrook in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Tidebrook is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Tell us how the building is used and we’ll plan around it.

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Leave it or put it right?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Tidebrook, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- We never seal over old sealant
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
What affects the quote in Tidebrook
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any working-time requirements on site
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job. In a small place like Tidebrook, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
When to call us in Tidebrook
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 round the new service is not always sealed again.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Community buildings like The 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.
