Fire rated sealant in Norlington, done properly
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. If you are dealing with fire seals that have cracked with movement and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, we can put it right.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Norlington, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Norlington, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Norlington
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 sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Norlington, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Commercial buildings in Norlington
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 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 Ringmer Community College and Sixth Form, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Rented homes near Lewes station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We work along the whole run so there are no open sections left.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Common questions in Norlington
Will you come out to Norlington?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Norlington?
Yes, Norlington is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Norlington.
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.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
