Fire-rated sealant in Patcham, Brighton and Hove
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Patcham? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a job in Patcham, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Patcham
Is Patcham within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Patcham?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.

In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Landlords, agents and businesses in Patcham
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
When it is not the sealant
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal

Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Patcham
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. Homes in smaller places like Patcham can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
