Why deal with it now?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In a small place like Udimore, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How much there is to do
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many areas need sealing
- The product the joint needs
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The type of property
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
What else we do in Udimore
When to call us in Udimore
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
What to look for in a quote
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether VAT is included
What fire rated sealant looks like in Udimore
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 let a flat or house near Winchelsea station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Udimore needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach, and we’ll tell you.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth with backing where the detail needs it.
Questions from Udimore
I let a flat near Winchelsea station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Udimore within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. Our work is the gap around the frame.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
