How we handle fire rated sealant in Steyning
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor on buildings across Steyning. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. If you’re dealing with fire stopping disturbed by later work and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can help.
In a smaller place like Steyning, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Why it’s worth doing now in Steyning
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. Homes in smaller places like Steyning can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Parking around Steyning is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Common questions in Steyning
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Steyning?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Is Steyning within the area you cover?
Yes, Steyning is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Bigger jobs take longer.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That isn’t something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it, recording the locations and products.

- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The product the joint needs
- Any working-time requirements on site
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that’s easy.
