Fire rated sealant in Wellbrook, done properly
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in Wellbrook. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. If you’re dealing with holes left by a change of layout and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Wellbrook, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Wellbrook
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St. Dunstan, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wellbrook
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wellbrook can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- We’re fully insured
- Old sealant always removed completely

Fire rated sealant in Wellbrook: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Mayfield Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Rented homes near Crowborough station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Wellbrook 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.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- 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.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot and we’ll tell you which one you have.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Questions from Wellbrook
Do you cover smaller places like Wellbrook?
Yes. Wellbrook is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Crowborough station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t 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.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
