Seaford Fire Rated Sealant
Fire rated sealant across Seaford and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Seaford
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. If you have unsealed gaps around fire door frames and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can put it right, on door frames, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry alike.
For anyone managing a school, care home, pub or office in Seaford, washroom sealant, kitchen joints and fire-rated sealant around service openings all need upkeep. Out-of-hours working is possible to arrange.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Common questions in Seaford
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Seaford?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you work for landlords with property near Seaford station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product following the tested details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. The order of work and access are planned with you.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.

Fire rated sealant around Seaford
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Seaford, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a building such as Seaford Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Thomas More, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Around Seaford, failed sealant lets water into hidden places, like the floor under a bath, the back of a panel or the inside of a wall. Whatever the joint, failed sealant only gets worse.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Why us?
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
