Fire Rated Sealant in Brighton and Hove
Fire-stopping gaps in Brighton and Hove need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in.
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We work through the gaps on your assessment, flat by flat if needed.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Brighton and Hove
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Brighton and Hove, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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 Holy Cross Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Rented homes near Aldrington station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
Common problems we fix in Brighton and Hove
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as West Hove Infant School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How long to leave it before use
- What insurance they hold

We don’t publish a price list. What we look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required

Advice
Questions from Brighton and Hove
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Aldrington station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you take on hotel work around Brighton and Hove?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We will tell you when we quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we’ll agree it with you first.
