Fire-rated sealant in Friar's Gate, East Sussex
Fire rated sealant across Friar's Gate and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes.
Fire rated sealant in Friar's Gate, done properly
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. Common call-outs are for gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and fire seals that have cracked with movement, across linear gaps, service penetrations and flats & HMOs.
Somewhere as small as Friar's Gate, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Commercial buildings in Friar's Gate
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, 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.
Letting a property close to Eridge station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like St John's Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Friar's Gate: your questions answered
Is Friar's Gate in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Friar's Gate is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Eridge station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We work from the specification you give us and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent means it swells when heated to help seal the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What affects the quote in Friar's Gate
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The amount of work
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the property is
- The problem you’ve noticed
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
When to call us in Friar's Gate
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St John's Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured?
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How the colour is chosen
- When the joint can take water or movement
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the amount of work. For a village or hamlet like Friar's Gate, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

When it isn’t the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Why it’s worth doing now in Friar's Gate
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Friar's Gate, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before work begins.
