How we handle fire rated sealant in Hurst Green
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on door frames, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and unsealed gaps around fire door frames.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Hurst Green, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Hurst Green
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hurst Green Church of England Primary School and Nursery, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For buildings such as Holy Trinity, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

When to call us in Hurst Green
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
If you let a flat or house near Etchingham station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
Questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Hurst Green, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking restrictions

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Why act early in Hurst Green
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that doesn’t depend on other work. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hurst Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
