Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Eastergate
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on door frames, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers.
For a small place like Eastergate, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
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 the item can be closed.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail.
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
Why it’s worth doing now in Eastergate
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Eastergate can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
Why book with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Eastergate
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Managing a site like Eastergate CofE Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Letting a property close to Barnham station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

FAQs for Eastergate
Do you work for landlords with property near Barnham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Eastergate?
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.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we will mention anything we notice about the door.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Eastergate?
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St George's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
