Your questions about fire rated sealant in West Hoathly
Can you help a landlord with a rental near East Grinstead station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to West Hoathly?
Yes. West Hoathly 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.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use, installed to its details.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer, and we install to them.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Fire rated sealant in West Hoathly, done properly
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you are dealing with unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, we can help, on flats & HMOs, door frames and service penetrations alike.
In a village or hamlet like West Hoathly, 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 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

More services for West Hoathly
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as West Hoathly, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear the area around the work

When it is not the sealant
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Why deal with it now?
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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like West Hoathly, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every job
- We never seal over old sealant
- Full insurance on every job
