About our fire rated sealant in Albourne Street
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We’re often asked to deal with gaps left after a refit or conversion and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, across pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Albourne Street, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Albourne Street as everywhere else we work.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Albourne Street
I let a flat near Hassocks station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Albourne Street in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Albourne Street is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
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.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we will plan the work to suit.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Albourne Street, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Albourne Street
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Bartholomew are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Questions to ask before booking
- How much experience the applicator has
- The length of the guarantee
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. 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. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
What affects the quote in Albourne Street
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Rather than a set price list, 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.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The type of property
- What’s wrong with the joints now

Landlord and commercial work in Albourne Street
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

Commercial buildings in Albourne Street
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Hassocks station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a building such as Albourne CofE Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
