Commercial buildings in Arlington
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Pancras, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

About our fire rated sealant in Arlington
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with door frames with gaps between frame and wall and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Arlington, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Surface by surface
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.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Arlington
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Berwick (Sussex) station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Arlington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Arlington, along with the rest of our area.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Arlington?

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a village or hamlet like Arlington, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
How to get a quote
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Arlington?
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
The most common problems we see are:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
For landlords with property near Berwick (Sussex) station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they hold
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
