Aldwick Fire Rated Sealant
Fire-stopping gaps in Aldwick need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
How we handle fire rated sealant in Aldwick
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. We work on linear gaps, service penetrations and door frames, and people most often call us about holes left by a change of layout and old fire sealant that has split or come away.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Aldwick, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

What we are called out for in Aldwick
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Schools such as Nyewood CofE Junior School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What to look for in a quote
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How long the guarantee is
- How long to leave it before use
Leave it or put it right?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. In an older home around Aldwick, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why book with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- We’re fully insured
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

How we quote for fire rated sealant
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
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.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The rough size of the job
- Where the property is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it has been sealed before
We do not publish a price list. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
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.
Common questions in Aldwick
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bognor Regis station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Aldwick?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated, helping close the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We work from the specification you give us.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer, and we install to them.
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Workplaces and buildings in Aldwick
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Aldwick, 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as St Richard’s Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For landlords with property near Bognor Regis station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Parking around Aldwick is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
