Common problems we fix in Bachelor's Bump
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
Community buildings like Christ Apostolic Church Hastings are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Before you book anyone

About our fire rated sealant in Bachelor's Bump
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you’re dealing with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Bachelor's Bump, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bachelor's Bump and across East Sussex.

What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
