How we handle fire rated sealant in Hooe Common
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you have cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Hooe Common, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Hooe Common and across East Sussex.

Why act early in Hooe Common
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hooe Common, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Hooe Common, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Hooe Common
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Hooe Common, 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.
For landlords with property near Cooden Beach station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Schools such as Ninfield Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
