Sullington: your questions answered
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Sullington?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Is Sullington within the area you cover?
Yes, Sullington is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, assessment is not something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Sullington
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
Work in a small place like Sullington is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
- How much there is to do
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
- Roughly how big the job is
- The address or postcode of the job
To get a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before we start.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Common problems we fix in Sullington
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Letting a property close to Amberley station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Fire rated sealant around Sullington
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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. Sullington has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Mary, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Thakeham Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What happens if it’s left?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Around Sullington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before the sealant goes in.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
