Fire-rated sealant in Hoyle, West Sussex
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Hoyle? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Common problems we fix in Hoyle
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
The most common problems we see are:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Open gaps behind door architraves
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St James, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day

Fire rated sealant in Hoyle, done properly
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on door frames, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about gaps left after a refit or conversion and fire seals that have cracked with movement.
Somewhere as small as Hoyle, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Fire rated sealant around Hoyle
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.
Managing a site like Midhurst Rother College? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Hoyle questions
Can you do fire rated sealant in Hoyle?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Hoyle is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Hoyle within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Landlord and commercial work in Hoyle
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.
What happens if it’s left?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hoyle can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
