Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Arundel
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We are often asked to deal with sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, across plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps.
Around a place like Arundel, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Arundel and across West Sussex.

Questions from Arundel
Do you work in hotels near Arundel?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
I let a flat near Arundel station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a smaller place like Arundel, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Fire rated sealant around Arundel
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Arundel. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
For landlords with property near Arundel station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Schools such as St Philip's Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Where the property is
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The rough size of the job
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you are ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Why it’s worth doing now in Arundel
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we will tell you. Homes in smaller places like Arundel can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Tidy, careful work
- Old sealant always removed completely

Landlords, agents and businesses in Arundel
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.

When to call us in Arundel
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Trinity Congregational Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What insurance they hold
- When the joint can take water or movement
What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we will flag it.
