Weald Fire Rated Sealant
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Weald? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Weald
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you are dealing with fire seals that have cracked with movement and holes left by a change of layout, we can put it right, on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and door frames alike.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Weald, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety

Leave it or put it right?
Sealant isn’t 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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Weald, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Weald
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.
If you look after a building such as Bampton CofE Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

DIY versus a professional finish

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.

Weald: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee on fire rated sealant in Weald?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Weald for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Weald is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it with a record of each location.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are from start to finish. For a village or hamlet like Weald, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
