Fire rated sealant in Saltdean
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. Typical jobs include unsealed gaps around fire door frames and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and door frames.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Saltdean, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
Common questions in Saltdean
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Saltdean?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you work for landlords with property near Southease station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will confirm how long when we quote.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot to help seal the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Saltdean?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

Commercial buildings in Saltdean
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Saltdean, 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Rented homes near Southease station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Nicholas, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Around Saltdean, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Common problems we fix in Saltdean
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Saltdean Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What insurance they hold
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
