About our fire rated sealant in Litlington
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. Common call-outs are for gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, on linear gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Litlington, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.

- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Landlord and commercial work in Litlington
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Leave it or put it right?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Older cottages and farmhouses around Litlington can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Litlington needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

What affects the quote in Litlington
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The address or postcode of the job
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Questions from Litlington
I let a flat near Berwick (Sussex) station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Litlington?
Yes. Litlington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
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 you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Litlington
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Litlington, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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 Alfriston School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Rented homes near Berwick (Sussex) station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Michael the Archangel are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
