Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Fire rated sealant in Telscombe, done properly
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Common call-outs are for door frames with gaps between frame and wall and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and door frames.
For a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Telscombe, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building.

Fire rated sealant in Telscombe: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Telscombe, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Southease station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Lawrence, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Telscombe Cliffs Community Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions usually leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and the locations noted.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Telscombe and across East Sussex. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.

What does fire rated sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a job in Telscombe, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
