Leave it or put it right?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In a small place like Upper Halling, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Upper Halling
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. We work on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and unsealed gaps around fire door frames.
Work in a small place like Upper Halling is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Upper Halling as everywhere else we work.

What affects the quote in Upper Halling
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The product the joint needs
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. We’ll send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
Questions from Upper Halling
Is Upper Halling in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Upper Halling is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Halling station?

How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We will tell you when we quote.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use, with access planned around residents or staff. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Surface by 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.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
Workplaces and buildings in Upper Halling
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 Halling 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 Church of St John the Baptist, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What we’re called out for in Upper Halling
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Rented homes near Halling station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
