Fire Rated Sealant in Atherington
Our applicators work in Atherington on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a one-year guarantee.
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere like Atherington needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Fire rated sealant in Atherington
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you are dealing with fire seals that have cracked with movement and open gaps behind door architraves, we can put it right, on door frames, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps alike.
Somewhere as small as Atherington, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Atherington: your questions answered
Do you work in hotels near Atherington?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
I let a flat near Littlehampton station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover Atherington?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it, recording the locations and products.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Around Atherington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

When to call us in Atherington
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Managing a site like St Mary's CofE Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Is VAT in the price?
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What insurance they hold

Workplaces and buildings in Atherington
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Atherington, 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Bailiffscourt Chapel, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Littlehampton station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.
What affects the quote in Atherington
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The amount of work
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The address or postcode of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
