Workplaces and buildings in Lower Horncroft
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Pulborough station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like Church of St Agatha are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Schools such as Fittleworth CofE Village School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

About our fire rated sealant in Lower Horncroft
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. Common call-outs are for open holes round services passing through fire walls and new service routes left unsealed after building work, across pipe & cable gaps, door frames and linear gaps.
Somewhere as small as Lower Horncroft, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.

How it works

It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Lower Horncroft, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Can I do it myself?
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.

What else we do in Lower Horncroft
Why it’s worth doing now in Lower Horncroft
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. Around Lower Horncroft, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Fully insured
- Tidy, careful work
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

Lower Horncroft questions
Is Lower Horncroft within the area you cover?

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Pulborough station?

Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will explain which colours are available and agree one before we start.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
