How we handle fire stopping in Langney
We are commercial sealant applicators, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators on site. We don’t hold a third-party fire-stopping installer certificate. We install the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail, and our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee. Most enquiries involve open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls and fire stopping installed outside its tested range, across cable penetrations, service gaps in risers and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows. Most enquiries from Langney start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Converted and extended buildings around places like Langney can mix old and new construction, so the wall or floor a service passes through isn’t always what the drawings assume. We match the product to the substrate and service, and say so if a collar, wrap or batt is the specified item.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Different surfaces, different methods
Linear joints
Head-of-wall gaps, slab edges and wall junctions are linear joints. BS EN 1366-4 testing sets the joint widths, depths, backing and movement a seal covers.
Cables and cable bundles
Single cables and small bundles are often within a fire-rated sealant’s tested detail. The detail limits bundle size and the gaps between and around cables and we work within those limits.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. What matters most for a job in Langney is a clear list of what needs doing. A fixed quote follows.
- We ask for the product and detail your designer has specified.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- Mineral wool or other backing is fitted where required.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant goes in around the services and is tooled off.
- Completed areas are checked with you, with the records agreed when we quoted.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

When to call us in Langney
Openings in fire-resisting walls typically appear when services are added or changed. A new cable pulled by an electrician, a pipe rerouted by a plumber or a data run drilled through a riser can leave the hole behind. Across several fit-outs, the openings add up.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Damaged fire seals in risers and voids
- Snag lists that include open service penetrations
- Fire stopping installed outside its tested range
- Non-fire-rated filler around services
Residences at universities like University of Brighton Eastbourne Campus (3.9 miles south-west of Langney) have compartment walls that must be resealed whenever services change.

- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Signing off or certifying a building’s fire stopping
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Questions we’re asked in Langney
Do you work on fire-rated sealing in hotels in Langney?
Yes, where fire-rated sealant is the specified product. It goes in to the manufacturer’s tested detail for the wall or floor and the services passing through, and we’ll tell you if the detail calls for a collar, wrap or batt instead.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Eastbourne District General Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Is Langney in your area?
Yes. We cover Langney, and you can ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to get started.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Langney
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.

Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
- Foam or ordinary sealant is never a fire-seal repair
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
- Arrange inspection before areas are covered up
Store the specified product details somewhere the next contractor can find them. Anyone resealing later needs to know which product and detail were used.
A simple record of seal locations and products helps. It tells the next contractor exactly what to reinstate, and it helps at inspections.
