Fire Rated Sealant in Lancing
Fire-stopping gaps in Lancing need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
Common problems we fix in Lancing
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
For buildings such as St. Michael & All Angels, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What insurance they hold
How we handle fire rated sealant in Lancing
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. Typical jobs include unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, across pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and door frames.
In a smaller place like Lancing, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
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.
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Lancing
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Lancing, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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.
If you look after a building such as The Globe Primary Academy, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For landlords with property near Lancing station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Advice
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.

What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
