What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Dukes Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Dukes Green
Do you work for landlords with property near Berwick (Sussex) station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Is Dukes Green in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Dukes Green is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Dukes Green?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before we start.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What affects the quote in Dukes Green
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How easy the joints are to reach
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Workplaces and buildings in Dukes Green
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Dukes Green, 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Michael the Archangel, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Rented homes near Berwick (Sussex) station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Managing a site like Alfriston School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that does not depend on other work. Around Dukes Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
