When to call us in Wood's Corner
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
Look out for these signs:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St Giles, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any mould that needs treating
- Any working-time requirements on site
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Photos by email, if that’s easy

- Any access issues, like height or stairs
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Commercial buildings in Wood's Corner
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Managing a site like Dallington Church of England Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Rented homes near Stonegate station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What sealant work cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- 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
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.
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.
Wood's Corner: your questions answered
I let a flat near Stonegate station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Wood's Corner?
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.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product fitted to the maker’s details.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
