The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a village or hamlet like Rye Foreign, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
About our fire rated sealant in Rye Foreign
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That is the part we focus on, gap by gap. We work on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations, and people most often call us about gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and gaps left after a refit or conversion.
In a village or hamlet like Rye Foreign, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What happens if it’s left?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Around Rye Foreign, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

When to call us in Rye Foreign
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Rented homes near Rye station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How long the guarantee is
- Is VAT in the price?
How we quote for fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
- Access and height
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
