How we handle fire rated sealant in Halnaker
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. If you have ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and open holes round services passing through fire walls, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Halnaker, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Halnaker, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
How to get a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What else we do in Halnaker
When it is not the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Halnaker
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Common questions in Halnaker
Do you work for landlords with property near Chichester station?

What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
What fire rating will the seal have?
That isn’t something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it, recording the locations and products.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used for your files.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
What we are called out for in Halnaker
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
If you look after a building such as Boxgrove CofE Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is chosen
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether they’re fully insured
Fire rated sealant around Halnaker
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.
Rented homes near Chichester station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like The Priory Church of St Mary and St Blaize are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
