How we handle fire rated sealant in Castle Town
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry, and common reasons people get in touch are open gaps behind door architraves and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Castle Town, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Fire rated sealant in Castle Town: local notes
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Community buildings like St Botolph's Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Shoreham-By-Sea station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a building such as Upper Beeding Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What we cannot put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Why it’s worth doing now in Castle Town
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Older cottages and farmhouses around Castle Town can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.
FAQs for Castle Town
Is Castle Town in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Castle Town is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Castle Town?
Yes, Castle Town is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use, with access planned around residents or staff. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Castle Town, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
