Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
About our fire rated sealant in Tisman's Common
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment for buildings in Tisman's Common. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. We work on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps, and the jobs we see most are gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and linear gaps at the head of walls.
In a village or hamlet like Tisman's Common, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before the sealant goes in.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access for a typical job. Somewhere like Tisman's Common needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we will tell you which one you have.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Tisman's Common
Do you take on hotel work around Tisman's Common?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you cover Tisman's Common for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Tisman's Common is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, we don’t assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service, or ask us to do it.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Tisman's Common.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tisman's Common
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Tisman's Common can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Fire rated sealant in Tisman's Common: local notes
