Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before work begins so residents know what to expect.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
Do you need fire rated sealant in East Worthing?
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
The most common problems we see are:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
If you let a flat or house near East Worthing station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are in most cases. For a job in East Worthing, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

East Worthing questions
Is East Worthing within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you take on hotel work around East Worthing?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed and we can apply it for you.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated, helping close the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
