Fire rated sealant in East Wittering
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, and we can record what went where. If you have holes left by a change of layout and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near East Wittering, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

East Wittering: your questions answered
Is fire rated sealant in East Wittering guaranteed?
All our work, in East Wittering and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover East Wittering for fire rated sealant?
Yes, East Wittering is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product fitted to the maker’s details.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine. Out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a smaller place like East Wittering, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

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.
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We work along the whole run so there are no open sections left.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Workplaces and buildings in East Wittering
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like East Wittering, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like East Wittering Community Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Anne, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Why it’s worth doing now in East Wittering
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. In an older home around East Wittering, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
