Fire rated sealant in Middleton-on-Sea, done properly
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. 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. If you have joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, we can put it right, on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry alike.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like Middleton-on-Sea have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.

Advice
Questions from Middleton-on-Sea
Do you work for landlords with property near Bognor Regis station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Middleton-on-Sea?
Yes, we do. 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?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We work from the specification you give us.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certificates aren’t something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant following the tested details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Fire rated sealant in Middleton-on-Sea: local notes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Middleton-on-Sea, 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 Bishop Tufnell CofE Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For buildings such as St Nicholas Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What else we do in Middleton-on-Sea
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Why deal with it now?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. In a smaller place like Middleton-on-Sea, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Middleton-on-Sea?
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
If you let a flat or house near Bognor Regis station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
