About our fire rated sealant in Rye Harbour
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. We work on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and door frames, and the jobs we see most are gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and open gaps behind door architraves.
For a small place like Rye Harbour, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What affects the quote in Rye Harbour
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The address or postcode of the job
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
What we are called out for in Rye Harbour
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
Schools such as Rye College are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What your quote should include
- What the cure time is
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Are they insured?
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Rye Harbour, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- 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
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Why it’s worth doing now in Rye Harbour
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Rye Harbour, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
