Your questions about fire rated sealant in Tile Hurst
Will you come out to Tile Hurst?
Yes, Tile Hurst is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Polegate station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Tile Hurst
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and linear gaps, and people most often call us about gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
Somewhere as small as Tile Hurst, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in with backing where the detail needs 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.
Fire rated sealant in Tile Hurst: local notes
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Tile Hurst. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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.
Community buildings like Zoar Strict Baptist Chapel are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Letting a property close to Polegate station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Schools such as Grovelands Community Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
