How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. A visit to Salvington is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Salvington
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps, and people most often call us about joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
In a smaller place like Salvington, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.

Workplaces and buildings in Salvington
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Salvington, 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.
If you look after a building such as Durrington Infant School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you let a flat or house near West Worthing station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like St Symphorian's Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Salvington is about 1 mile north of Worthing, in West Sussex. Salvington gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Our area takes in 371 places across West Sussex. We also work in Brighton, around 12 miles away.
Our applicators cover all of BN13 and BN14 for fire rated sealant and the streets around it. If you need fire rated sealant at a property on Stone Lane, Links Road and Lindum Road or anywhere close by, our applicators can take on the job. Salvington sits on or near the A24 and A27, which makes travel easy. We also cover the places around Salvington: Offington (1 mile east), Worthing (1 mile south), Broadwater (1 mile south-east), Findon Valley (1 mile north) and East Worthing (3 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Bognor Regis (13 miles west), Burgess Hill (15 miles north-east), Littlehampton (6 miles west), Shoreham-by-Sea (6 miles east), Lancing (3 miles east) and Rustington (5 miles west).
Near you in Salvington
We work in homes and buildings around Thomas A Becket First School, Durrington High School and Durrington Minature Railway, among other places. The nearest railway station is West Worthing station, roughly 1.2 miles south of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include The Acre (1.9 miles south) and Old Castle (0.7 miles south). Not far away are Widewater Lagoon and Highdown Hill.
When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

Can I do it myself?
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist, and we will say if we spot a problem with them.
Why it’s worth doing now in Salvington
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In a smaller place like Salvington, 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.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Salvington: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Salvington?
Yes. Salvington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near West Worthing station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Bigger jobs take longer.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
