Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
Fire rated sealant in Hangleton: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Hangleton, 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. 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.
Community buildings like St Helen's Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Managing a site like Hangleton Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Questions from Hangleton
Do you cover Hangleton for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hangleton is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant and which one is used depends on the job.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Hangleton?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps

Common problems we fix in Hangleton
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Letting a property close to Portslade station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- What the cure time is
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. Homes in smaller places like Hangleton can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the tidy-up. For a job in Hangleton, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
