Why it’s worth doing now in Ifold
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ifold can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Ifold
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you are dealing with standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can put it right, on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry alike.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Ifold, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Ifold and across West Sussex.

Workplaces and buildings in Ifold
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Loxwood Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What we are called out for in Ifold
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
For buildings such as St John the Baptist, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Can you work in occupied buildings?

Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Do I need to be at home?

What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

Other services in Ifold
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Ifold, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level 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. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
