Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Friston
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; 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’re often asked to deal with gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, across service penetrations, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Friston, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Why it’s worth doing now in Friston
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Around Friston, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

Fire rated sealant around Friston
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Friston, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Rented homes near Eastbourne station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Simon and St Jude, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.
Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before applying the sealant.
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.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
