Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Fire rated sealant in Warninglid
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We work on door frames, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and holes left by a change of layout.
In a village or hamlet like Warninglid, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Warninglid needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Leave it or put it right?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In a small place like Warninglid, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- 20+ years of sealant experience

Do you need fire rated sealant in Warninglid?
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
If you let a flat or house near Balcombe station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement, following the tested detail.
