What else we do in Southwick
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
What we’re called out for in Southwick
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
Community buildings like Church of St James Without the Priory Gate are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether you can choose the colour
- When the joint can take water or movement
Fire rated sealant around Southwick
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Southwick, 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, 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.
Rented homes near Portchester station change hands often, and 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 King Richard School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We work through the gaps on your assessment room by room.
Why it’s worth doing now in Southwick
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In a small place like Southwick, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
