Fire rated sealant in South Mundham
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That is the part we focus on. We are often asked to deal with unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and holes left by a change of layout, on service penetrations, door frames and linear gaps.
Somewhere as small as South Mundham, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in South Mundham as everywhere else we work.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
When to call us in South Mundham
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Stephen are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What fire rated sealant looks like in South Mundham
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like South Mundham, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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, 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 let a flat or house near Chichester station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Schools such as North Mundham Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
