Commercial buildings in Eastbourne
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Eastbourne, 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Managing a site like Stafford Junior School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For landlords with property near Hampden Park station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Andrew, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Eastbourne
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on linear gaps, door frames and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
A place the size of Eastbourne has offices, shops, hotels and schools, all with washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant. We cover both day-to-day sealant and fire-rated sealant, installed to the manufacturer’s tested details.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What sealant work can’t fix

- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Eastbourne
We don’t publish a price list. What we look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The product the joint needs
- Whether the work is at height

What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it’s a home or a business

For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Can I do it myself?
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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Commercial jobs in Eastbourne can be planned out of hours where a building can’t close, while home visits are arranged within our normal working hours, Monday to Saturday.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
