Climping Fire Rated Sealant
Our applicators work in Climping on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Open gaps behind door architraves
When to call us in Climping
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.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
If you look after a building such as St Mary's CofE Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Fire rated sealant in Climping, done properly
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you have new service routes left unsealed after building work and open joints along the top of partitions, we can help, whatever the surface.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Climping, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
When it is not the sealant
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.

Do the sealants smell?

Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Fire rated sealant around Climping
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Climping, 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Littlehampton station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Surface by surface
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.
Why it’s worth doing now in Climping
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Climping, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.
