How we handle fire rated sealant in Hurstpierpoint
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you have cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and holes left by a change of layout, we can put it right, on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and door frames alike.
For a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Hurstpierpoint, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

What else we do in Hurstpierpoint
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access and we leave things clean and tidy. In a smaller place like Hurstpierpoint, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Fire rated sealant around Hurstpierpoint
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, 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.
Community buildings like Hurstpierpoint Baptist Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you look after a building such as St Lawrence CofE Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. In an older home around Hurstpierpoint, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why us?

What we’re called out for in Hurstpierpoint
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
Rented homes near Hassocks station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Do I need to be at home?

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t and we’ll tell you which one you have.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
