Fire rated sealant in East Saltdean
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. We are often asked to deal with gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and fire stopping disturbed by later work, across linear gaps, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry.
Commercial work around a smaller place like East Saltdean generally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What we are called out for in East Saltdean
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion

Do you work in hotels near East Saltdean?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.

Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Yes. We note each location and the product that went in, so you have it on file.

Fire rated sealant around East Saltdean
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like East Saltdean, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Saltdean Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like St Nicholas are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out, 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 for a typical job. In a smaller place like East Saltdean, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.

- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Why deal with it now?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. In a smaller place like East Saltdean, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

How the job changes 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 will flag it.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
