Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Town Row
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That is the part we focus on, one gap at a time. Common call-outs are for new service routes left unsealed after building work and fire stopping disturbed by later work, on door frames, flats & HMOs and linear gaps.
For a small place like Town Row, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Town Row
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 Crowborough station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Schools such as Rotherfield Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St Denys, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Town Row, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
FAQs for Town Row
Can you do fire rated sealant in Town Row?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Town Row is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Is Town Row within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame, and we’ll mention anything we notice about the door.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Why deal with it now?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Around Town Row, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before we start.

What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We work along the whole run so there are no open sections left.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth with backing where the detail needs it.
