Itchingfield Fire Rated Sealant
Professional fire rated sealant in and around Itchingfield, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
What we cannot put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps

Fire rated sealant in Itchingfield
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, and we can record what went where. We work on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are open gaps behind door architraves and old fire sealant that has split or come away.
For a small place like Itchingfield, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Itchingfield and everywhere else we cover.

Questions from Itchingfield
Is Itchingfield in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Itchingfield is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Christs Hospital station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Itchingfield, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
When to call us in Itchingfield
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
If you look after a building such as Barns Green Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Advice
What affects the quote in Itchingfield
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the property is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
