Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
About our fire rated sealant in Hangleton
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you have door frames with gaps between frame and wall and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can help, whatever the surface.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Hangleton, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Hangleton
Can you do fire rated sealant in Hangleton?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Hangleton is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Goring-By-Sea station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It looks sealed but will not perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it with a record of each location.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hangleton
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Around Hangleton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

Fire rated sealant in Hangleton: local notes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around 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. 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.
Letting a property close to Goring-By-Sea station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Community buildings like St Andrew's Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work.

- 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.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.

Advice
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Common problems we fix in Hangleton
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
If you look after a building such as Ferring CofE Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What your quote should include

- Is VAT in the price?
