Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Norton
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That’s the part we focus on, gap by gap. If you have new service routes left unsealed after building work and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, we can put it right.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Norton, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

How much does fire rated sealant cost in Norton?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.

- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. 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. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
Workplaces and buildings in Norton
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Norton, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
For landlords with property near Lymington Pier station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Yarmouth Church of England Aided Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
