DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Fire rated sealant in Goring-by-Sea
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. Typical jobs include fire seals that have cracked with movement and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and linear gaps.
In a smaller place like Goring-by-Sea, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Fire rated sealant in Goring-by-Sea: local notes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Goring-by-Sea, 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Letting a property close to Goring-By-Sea station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Mary's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you look after a building such as Goring-By-Sea CofE (Aided) Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use fitted to the maker’s details.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
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.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Why act early in Goring-by-Sea
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In an older home around Goring-by-Sea, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
