Fire rated sealant in Tangmere
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you’re dealing with unsealed gaps around fire door frames and open holes round services passing through fire walls, we can help, whatever the surface.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Tangmere usually means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Tangmere?
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
For buildings such as St Andrew's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Why act early in Tangmere
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In an older home around Tangmere, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
What it costs 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.

Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.

What else we do in Tangmere
Landlord and commercial work in Tangmere
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Parking around Tangmere is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
