Fire rated sealant in Horsham
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. 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 new service routes left unsealed after building work.
Landlords with flats and shared houses in Horsham often need both kinds of work: resealing bathrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated sealant where pipes pass through walls. We can quote for a single property or a whole portfolio.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Questions from Horsham
I let a flat near Horsham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you take on hotel work around Horsham?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used, so you have it on file.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We work from the specification you give us.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What we are called out for in Horsham
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
The most common problems we see are:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Community buildings like Hope Chapel are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Why deal with it now?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. For landlords in Horsham, failed sealant soon turns into tenant complaints about mould, damp or draughts. It’s simpler to sort between tenants than in the middle of a let.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.
Why book with us
- Tidy, careful work
- Full insurance on every job

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details before the trim goes back.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
