What we are called out for in Wannock
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
For buildings such as St Wilfrid, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they hold
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the colour is chosen
About our fire rated sealant in Wannock
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. If you’re dealing with holes left by a change of layout and open joints along the top of partitions, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Wannock, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Don’t 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. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.

Advice
Common questions in Wannock
Will you come out to Wannock?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Polegate station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. 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 we start.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Wannock?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including preparation and clearing up. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it, recording the locations and products.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Commercial buildings in Wannock
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Managing a site like Willingdon Community School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Rented homes near Polegate station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Why it’s worth doing now in Wannock
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. In a small place like Wannock, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
