Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on door frames, flats & HMOs and linear gaps, and people most often call us about holes left by a change of layout and old fire sealant that has split or come away.
Somewhere as small as Roedean, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Roedean
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Open joints along the top of partitions
For buildings such as St Mark's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Workplaces and buildings in Roedean
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Roedean, 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Schools such as St Mark's CofE Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you let a flat or house near Brighton station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
