Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
About our fire rated sealant in Battle
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. Typical jobs include new service routes left unsealed after building work and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, across service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Battle normally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Questions from Battle
Will you come out to Battle?
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.
I let a flat near Battle 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 will give you a clear quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant, and the choice depends on the gap.
Do I have to be there?
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.
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 we start.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Fire rated sealant in Battle: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Battle. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
Managing a site like Battle and Langton Church of England Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you let a flat or house near Battle station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Battle is about 5 miles north of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex. Battle gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Battle is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. There’s also a page for Brighton, about 27 miles away.
Jobs for fire rated sealant in TN33 works the same way as everywhere else we cover. Local streets include High Street, Market Road and Station Road. With the A271 and A2100 close by, Battle is easy for our applicators to reach. We also cover Steven's Crouch (2 miles west), Netherfield (2 miles north-west), Mountfield (2 miles north), John's Cross (3 miles north) and Penhurst (3 miles west). We also work in nearby towns such as Eastbourne (12 miles south-west), Hastings (5 miles south-east), Bexhill-on-Sea (5 miles south), Hailsham (11 miles west), St Leonards (5 miles south-east) and Polegate (12 miles south-west).
Landmarks near Battle

Other landmarks nearby include Battle Museum of Local History (within half a mile north) and Conquest Hospital (4.3 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Church Wood and Robsack Wood and Senlac Hill.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes.
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the size of the job. A visit to Battle is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Related advice
Why act early in Battle
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Around Battle, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Battle?
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
