When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety

Fire rated sealant in Piddinghoe
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. Typical jobs include ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and new service routes left unsealed after building work, across service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Piddinghoe, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Piddinghoe
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Piddinghoe, 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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St John, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you let a flat or house near Newhaven Town station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Breakwater Academy, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Related advice
How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions normally leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and record where they are.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Why deal with it now?
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. In a small place like Piddinghoe, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
