Fire rated sealant in Funtington
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That’s the part we focus on. We work on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps, and the jobs we see most are linear gaps at the head of walls and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
Somewhere as small as Funtington, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much there is to do
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it has been sealed before
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Funtington, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.
Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist and we will mention anything we notice.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. Around Funtington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Funtington?
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St Mary, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Funtington: your questions answered
Can you do fire rated sealant in Funtington?
Yes, Funtington is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.

Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Workplaces and buildings in Funtington
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Funtington Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Letting a property close to Nutbourne station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
