Fire rated sealant in Cliffe, done properly
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on flats & HMOs, door frames and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are holes left by a change of layout and unsealed gaps around fire door frames.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Cliffe usually 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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Workplaces and buildings in Cliffe
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Cliffe. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Rented homes near Lewes station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Thomas at Cliffe, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Schools such as Priory School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we’ll tell you.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Cliffe and across East Sussex. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Why it’s worth doing now in Cliffe
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we will tell you. In a smaller place like Cliffe, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
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.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.

Cliffe questions
Is Cliffe within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need pictures or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?

What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.

For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the tidy-up. Parking around Cliffe is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
