When something else is needed

- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with

What fire rated sealant looks like in Lidsey
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Lidsey, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Barnham station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Managing a site like Aldingbourne Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Lidsey?
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.
Look out for these signs:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Open joints along the top of partitions
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

FAQs for Lidsey
Do you work for landlords with property near Barnham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Lidsey within the area you cover?
Yes, Lidsey is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product fitted to the maker’s details.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Why deal with it now?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lidsey, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

What to tell us for a quote

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What else we do in Lidsey
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Lidsey, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
