How we handle fire rated sealant in Albourne Green
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. Typical jobs include new service routes left unsealed after building work and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, across linear gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs.
For a small place like Albourne Green, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Why it’s worth doing now in Albourne Green
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. In a small place like Albourne Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Common questions in Albourne Green
Do you cover Albourne Green for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Albourne Green is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Albourne Green?
Yes. Albourne Green 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 I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
What fire rating will the seal have?
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.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Albourne Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work

Fire rated sealant in Albourne Green: local notes
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Bartholomew are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For landlords with property near Hassocks station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
