How we handle fire rated sealant in Little Wigborough
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and old fire sealant that has split or come away.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Little Wigborough, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

When to call us in Little Wigborough
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Around Little Wigborough, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions normally leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and the locations noted.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
When it is not the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe & cable gaps

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. In a small place like Little Wigborough, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t, so ask us which we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
Workplaces and buildings in Little Wigborough
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Little Wigborough, 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St Stephen are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Little Wigborough questions
Will you come out to Little Wigborough?
Yes, Little Wigborough is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Little Wigborough?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
