Fire-rated sealant in Green Street, East Sussex
Fire rated sealant across Green Street and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Green Street
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and linear gaps, and people most often call us about gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
For a small place like Green Street, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
FAQs for Green Street
Will you come out to Green Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Crowhurst station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant, and the choice depends on the gap.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We work from the specification you give us.
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 and we will tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail, and tell you if sealant alone isn’t the right fix.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins.

Workplaces and buildings in Green Street
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Green Street, 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, 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.
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St George, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Letting a property close to Crowhurst station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a building such as Crowhurst CofE Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Leave it or put it right?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that does not depend on other work. In a small place like Green Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
