What sealant work can’t fix

- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system

Fire rated sealant in Windmill Hill, done properly
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you have linear gaps at the head of walls and open holes round services passing through fire walls, we can help.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Windmill Hill, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Workplaces and buildings in Windmill Hill
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details. Windmill Hill has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Herstmonceux Church of England Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Related advice
Why act early in Windmill Hill
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. 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 Windmill Hill can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Windmill Hill questions
Do you cover smaller places like Windmill Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers 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 Normans Bay station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
When to call us in Windmill Hill
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.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
Letting a property close to Normans Bay station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before the sealant goes in.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and record where they are.
