How we handle fire rated sealant in Codmore Hill
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We are often asked to deal with new service routes left unsealed after building work and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps.
Work in a small place like Codmore Hill is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Codmore Hill and across West Sussex.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
Fire rated sealant in Codmore Hill: local notes
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Pulborough station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Mary, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

FAQs for Codmore Hill
Do you cover Codmore Hill for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Codmore Hill is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is Codmore Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
As a guide, most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Codmore Hill
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
The most common problems we see are:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
If you look after a building such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

How the job changes by surface
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, and tell you if sealant alone isn’t the right fix.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product.
What happens if it’s left?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Codmore Hill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
