Yes. North Mundham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

That is not something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it, recording the locations and products.

When to call us in North Mundham
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Stephen, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that doesn’t depend on other work. Older cottages and farmhouses around North Mundham can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.

- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in North Mundham
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
