How we serve Sussex.
Flame Solutions Ltd delivers certified passive fire protection across East and West Sussex — from Crawley and Horsham inland through to the Brighton, Hove, Worthing and Eastbourne coastal postcodes. Delivered by Michael Sully, BM TRADA third-party certified via Sully Form Ltd, with every job scoped and evidenced against the FRA process.
Sussex is a straight run south from our Coulsdon (CR5) base along the A23 — Crawley, Haywards Heath and Brighton sit directly on that corridor, and the wider Sussex coverage runs from Chichester in the west through to Eastbourne in the east. Typical Sussex workload spans fire door programmes on residential blocks, compartmentation reinstatement in care homes, and FRA close-out on commercial premises.
Postcodes covered: RH, BN, TN, PO.

Local problems that shape the work.
Coastal weathering on ironmongery and seals
Sussex coastal buildings — from Brighton through Worthing and out to Chichester — expose seals and ironmongery to more aggressive weathering. Component selection has to reflect the environment as well as the fire rating.
Mixed-era residential stock
Crawley and the wider RH postcode area include large tracts of post-war housing alongside newer blocks. Compartmentation standards vary significantly between eras, and Type 4 surveys almost always reveal legacy penetrations and joints that no longer perform.
Care home compartmentation risk
Sussex has a high concentration of care homes. Staff-assisted evacuation depends on compartmentation being intact — not just documented — which raises the importance of evidenced FRA close-out.
Rural site logistics
Rural and village commercial premises in Sussex often lack the access and phasing options available on city sites. Small-scope, single-visit programmes need to be planned tightly to avoid repeat mobilisation cost.
