Fire rated sealant in Iden
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. If you are dealing with unsealed gaps around fire door frames and linear gaps at the head of walls, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Iden, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Workplaces and buildings in Iden
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Iden. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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, 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.
Letting a property close to Rye station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Managing a site like St Michael's Church of England Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and record where they are.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
FAQs for Iden
Will you come out to Iden?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Rye station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Iden
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:

There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it.

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Around Iden, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Common problems we fix in Iden
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Community buildings like The Parish Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the cure time is
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What happens if the job turns out different
What else we do in Iden
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
