What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Hove
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Hove, 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. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Holy Trinity Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Rented homes near Hove station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Hove: your questions answered
I let a flat near Hove station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Hove in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Hove is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Leave it or put it right?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Black mould and gaps in sealant do not fix themselves, and in a busy household in Hove they spread with every shower and every downpour. Replacing the sealant now is the simplest fix.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Parking in a town like Hove is normally straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Hove
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Managing a site like St Andrew's CofE (Aided) Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
