What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.
About our fire rated sealant in Hailsham
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. Common call-outs are for gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and new service routes left unsealed after building work, on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and door frames.
Shared washrooms take far more use than a home bathroom, and their sealant shows it, and fire-rated joints need restoring whenever new services are run through a wall. In Hailsham, timings are planned around the building.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What information do you need?

What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Hailsham
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Managing a site like Hailsham Community College? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What else we do in Hailsham
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In Hailsham, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
Workplaces and buildings in Hailsham
Hailsham has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Rented homes near Polegate station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of Saint Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
