Fire stopping across Brighton and Hove
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Our process
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Most work in Brighton and Hove is one building at a time: a school, a unit, an office or a block. We start with your photos, drawings or a site visit, then send a fixed quote.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- We sort the openings by the detail each one needs.
- Improvised fillers and failed sealant are removed.
- Mineral wool or other backing is fitted where required.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
Preparing the site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
Getting a fixed quote

Advice
Fire stopping in Brighton and Hove
A lot of fire-stopping work comes after M&E installation, a refit or a tenant fit-out. New cable runs, replaced pipework and extra data routes all punch holes in compartment walls, often unnoticed. Those on your schedule are closed with the specified product. If you’re dealing with fire sealant pulled out of the opening and unsealed penetrations discovered above suspended ceilings, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Brighton and Hove start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Towns the size of Brighton and Hove have plenty of buildings with compartment walls: schools, care homes, surgeries, offices and blocks of flats. Whenever new services go through those walls, the gaps need sealing with the specified product.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
How the job changes by surface
Risers and ceiling voids
Risers and ceiling voids hold most of a building’s service penetrations. Access is often tight, so we agree it with you in advance, including keys, permits and any isolations.
Small ducts
Small ductwork can sometimes be sealed with sealant where the tested detail includes it. Larger or fire-rated ductwork normally needs a different solution set by the designer.
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Phasing around occupants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Pricing service penetrations depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The postcode of the building
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Why act early in Brighton and Hove
Inspections and handover checks often pick up fire stopping. Finding unsealed or improvised openings late can hold up a programme which is why earlier is better. In Brighton and Hove, as anywhere, the simplest time to fix a failed joint is before it leaks. Once water gets in, there’s drying out and making good as well.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Common questions from Brighton and Hove clients
Can work at a site such as University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Does your area include sites such as Portland Road Trading Estate, near Brighton and Hove?
Yes. Our area takes in Brighton and Hove and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Portland Road Trading Estate included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes longer where risers, ceiling voids or occupied floors have to be worked through in sequence. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
Do you certify or sign off fire stopping?
No. Approval sits with the designer, principal designer or building control. We will confirm the products and details used.
Fire-rated sealing for Brighton and Hove buildings
Brighton and Hove lies roughly 46 miles out from central London. Tenant changes on commuter-belt business parks mean regular fit-outs, and new services through compartment walls. The 2 miles around Brighton and Hove include two care or nursing homes. Where new services have gone through compartment walls in a care setting, the gaps need the specified product.
For an estates team at a campus like University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus, which lies east of Brighton and Hove, summer M&E works are usually followed by a round of penetration sealing. At a healthcare site like Nevill Hospital (less than half a mile north-west of Brighton and Hove), new services through compartment walls are a constant, and each needs the specified seal. Workshops and IT rooms at colleges like Waterbear College Brighton, 2.2 miles to the east of Brighton and Hove, are re-serviced often, leaving penetrations to seal.
Brighton and Hove is in England. Anywhere in BN3, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Our Brighton and Hove coverage takes in 29 places, large and small.
Anyone looking for fire stopping in BN3, BN41 and BN1 gets the same process as the rest of our area: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee.

What’s near Brighton and Hove
In Brighton and Hove, that means premises near Hove Park, The Drive Prep School and Hove Park School, among other places. There’s a railway station in Brighton and Hove itself: Aldrington station. Nearby you will also find British Engineerium (0.7 miles north-east) and Churchill Square (2.1 miles south-east). Not far away are Thundersbarrow Hill and Ladies Mile.
When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
- Approving the work on behalf of building control
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Pipe penetrations
- Service gaps in risers
- Cable penetrations
