Surface by surface
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Langney
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. We work on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are fire stopping disturbed by later work and gaps left after a refit or conversion.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like Langney have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on how much there is to do. A visit to Langney is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Do you need fire rated sealant in Langney?
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
The most common problems we see are:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Rented homes near Pevensey & Westham station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How long the guarantee is
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the colour is chosen
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The problem you’ve noticed
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Workplaces and buildings in Langney
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Langney, 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. 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.
If you look after a building such as Langney Primary Academy, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like St. Richard are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Why act early in Langney
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we will tell you. Homes in smaller places like Langney can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

Questions from Langney
Will you come out to Langney?
Yes, Langney is covered. 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 Pevensey & Westham station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, assessment is not something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Bigger jobs take longer.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
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.
