Fire Rated Sealant in Brightling
Professional fire rated sealant in and around Brightling, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Fire rated sealant in Brightling, done properly
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. Typical jobs include ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, across service penetrations, linear gaps and door frames.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Brightling, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are in most cases. In a small place like Brightling, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brightling
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.

Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?

Workplaces and buildings in Brightling
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Letting a property close to Robertsbridge station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

For rail, the closest station is Robertsbridge station, about 3.3 miles north-east. A little further out are Old Castle (2.3 miles south-west) and Ticehurst House Hospital (5.9 miles north).
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement, following the tested detail.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
Why deal with it now?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Around Brightling, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
