Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Rye
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Rye, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you let a flat or house near Rye station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What affects the quote in Rye
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Rye
Do you cover smaller places like Rye?
Yes, Rye is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Rye station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine, with access planned around residents or staff. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In a smaller place like Rye, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Related advice
Do you need fire rated sealant in Rye?
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
If you look after a building such as Rye Community Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What to look for in a quote
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
