FAQs for Twineham Green
I let a flat near Burgess Hill station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Twineham Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Twineham Green?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
About our fire rated sealant in Twineham 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. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. Typical jobs include new service routes left unsealed after building work and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and door frames.
Work in a small place like Twineham Green is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Twineham Green
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
Rented homes near Burgess Hill station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the cure time is
- Are they insured?
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
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.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Fire rated sealant around Twineham Green
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Twineham Green. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.

Managing a site like Twineham CofE Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Twineham Green, 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.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Leave it or put it right?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Older cottages and farmhouses around Twineham Green 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 unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
