Offington Fire Rated Sealant
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Offington. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
What we’re called out for in Offington
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Holes left by a change of layout
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Thomas A Becket Junior School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- The length of the guarantee
How we handle fire rated sealant in Offington
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That’s the part we focus on, one gap at a time. Typical jobs include gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, on door frames, linear gaps and service penetrations.
In a village or hamlet like Offington, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before work begins to keep disruption down.
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, and we’ll tell you.
Workplaces and buildings in Offington
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Offington, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near West Worthing station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For buildings such as St Andrew's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

FAQs for Offington
Can you help a landlord with a rental near West Worthing station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Offington?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant following the tested details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, assessment is not something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.
For anyone letting property in or around Offington, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Why it’s worth doing now in Offington
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. Older cottages and farmhouses around Offington can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
Why us?
- Tidy, careful work
- Old sealant always removed completely
