Questions from Tinsley Green
Do you work for landlords with property near Gatwick Airport station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Tinsley Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
About our fire rated sealant in Tinsley Green
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. Common call-outs are for open joints along the top of partitions and fire seals that have cracked with movement, across pipe & cable gaps, door frames and linear gaps.
For a small place like Tinsley Green, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Door frames
Frame gaps are generally hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details before the trim goes back.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Fire rated sealant around Tinsley Green
Tinsley Green has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as Forge Wood Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Michael and All Angels Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
