What affects the quote in Hollingdean
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- The amount of work
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If someone has resealed it before
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Hollingdean
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and gaps left after a refit or conversion.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like Hollingdean have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Parking around Hollingdean is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth with backing where the detail needs it.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Hollingdean
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
Look out for these signs:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
For landlords with property near Moulsecoomb station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Hollingdean
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Hollingdean, 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. Hollingdean has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
For buildings such as St Richard's, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hertford Infant and Nursery School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Hollingdean questions
Is Hollingdean within the area you cover?
Yes. Hollingdean is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Moulsecoomb station. Can you help?
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 will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hollingdean
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. In an older home around Hollingdean, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.
