How we handle fire rated sealant in Fisher
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in Fisher. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. Typical jobs include linear gaps at the head of walls and fire stopping disturbed by later work, across service penetrations, linear gaps and flats & HMOs.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Fisher, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Fisher needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Leave it or put it right?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Fisher can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Working hours on commercial sites
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- A few photos by email, if you can
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details, and photos are welcome.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed 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 chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

Yes, Fisher is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.

Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Fisher?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in, so you have it on file.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Fire rated sealant in Fisher: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Fisher, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For landlords with property near Chichester station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Schools such as Chichester High School For Girls are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Fisher?
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
For buildings such as St Leodegar's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
