About our fire rated sealant in Saddlescombe
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. If you have new service routes left unsealed after building work and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, we can put it right.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Saddlescombe, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Why deal with it now?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Saddlescombe, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Common questions in Saddlescombe
Do you work for landlords with property near Hassocks station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Saddlescombe?
Yes, Saddlescombe is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, we do not assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach, and we will tell you.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

Common problems we fix in Saddlescombe
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Letting a property close to Hassocks station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Commercial buildings in Saddlescombe
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Church of the Holy Trinity, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Saddlescombe, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
