For anyone letting property in or around Bilsham, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment, flat by flat if needed.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- When we can work, for business premises
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.

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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Yapton CE Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For landlords with property near Barnham station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For buildings such as Bilsham Chapel, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
