Fire rated sealant around West Farleigh
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.
Letting a property close to East Farleigh station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Managing a site like Oakwood Park Grammar School? Then 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 All Saints Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What else we do in West Farleigh
Why act early in West Farleigh
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 sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Older cottages and farmhouses around West Farleigh can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in West Farleigh
I let a flat near East Farleigh station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover West Farleigh for fire rated sealant?
Yes, West Farleigh is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That isn’t something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it with a record of each location.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
What affects the quote in West Farleigh
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How much there is to do
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The type of sealant required
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
