Fire-rated sealant in Tillington, West Sussex
Professional fire rated sealant in and around Tillington, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Open joints along the top of partitions
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Fire rated sealant in Tillington
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Typical jobs include ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, across pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and flats & HMOs.
For a small place like Tillington, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment, flat by flat if needed.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tillington
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that doesn’t depend on other work. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Tillington, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Fire rated sealant in Tillington: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as The Parish Church of All Hallows, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What we’re called out for in Tillington
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Open joints along the top of partitions
Managing a site like Petworth Cof E Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Tillington: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Tillington?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Tillington?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will tell you when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
