Fire rated sealant in Kingston near Lewes: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a building such as Iford and Kingston Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Pancras Church (Kingston near Lewes), gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Lewes station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Common questions in Kingston near Lewes

Yes, Kingston near Lewes is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a village or hamlet like Kingston near Lewes, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both, following the tested detail.
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. Around Kingston near Lewes, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
