Fire rated sealant in Brighton and Hove: how it works
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. We work on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps, and people most often call us about gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and damaged fire sealant left by other trades.
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
How we quote
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Fire rated sealant across Brighton and Hove: local notes
Brighton and Hove has hotels, rented property, schools and workplaces, all with sealant to maintain. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and washroom sealant is chosen for heavy use.
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outdoor sealant still needs a dry day and clean surfaces, so outside work in Brighton and Hove is planned around the forecast. In the coastal parts of Brighton and Hove, the sea-facing side of a building takes the most weather, and that’s where sealant normally gives up first. The right product and careful preparation help it last.
Brighton: Letting a property close to London Road (Brighton) station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Managing a site like Fairlight Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What we’re called out for in Brighton and Hove
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Look out for these signs:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
What affects the quote in Brighton and Hove
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether the work is at height
- The size of the job
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The type of property
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
For fire rated sealant in Brighton and Hove, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too across Brighton and Hove. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured.
Leave it or put it right?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own.

Brighton and Hove questions
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer; we install to those details and record what we did.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
