About our fire rated sealant in Hankham
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. If you have gaps left after a refit or conversion and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Hankham, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Hankham and everywhere else we cover.

Fire rated sealant in Hankham: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Hankham, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Letting a property close to Pevensey & Westham station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Managing a site like Hankham Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Hankham, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
Common problems we fix in Hankham
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Luke's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Hankham, along with the rest of our area.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
