What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Camber, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Camber
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment for buildings in Camber. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. If you are dealing with door frames with gaps between frame and wall and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can help, on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and service penetrations alike.
Somewhere as small as Camber, 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.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Camber as everywhere else we work.

Camber questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Rye station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you come out to Camber?
Yes. Camber is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we’ll mention anything we notice about the door.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use. Out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.

Why it’s worth doing now in Camber
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Camber, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Commercial buildings in Camber
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Camber, 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. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as St Thomas the Apostle, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Camber
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Open gaps behind door architraves
For landlords with property near Rye station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
