Fire Rated Sealant in Hastings Old Town
We cover Hastings Old Town for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Hastings Old Town
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and door frames, and the jobs we see most are door frames with gaps between frame and wall and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Hastings Old Town, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

When to call us in Hastings Old Town
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ark Castledown Primary Academy, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. In an older home around Hastings Old Town, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
