Commercial buildings in Keynor Estate
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Keynor Estate, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Keynor Estate 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.
Schools such as Sidlesham Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like St Mary Our Lady Sidlesham are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Fire rated sealant in Keynor Estate, done properly
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with new service routes left unsealed after building work and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can put it right.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Keynor Estate, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Keynor Estate?
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
If you let a flat or house near Chichester station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
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.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Why it’s worth doing now in Keynor Estate
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. In a small place like Keynor Estate, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why book with us
- We never seal over old sealant
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
