Fire rated sealant in Tortington, done properly
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you have standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and linear gaps at the head of walls, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Tortington is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Tortington and everywhere else we cover.

FAQs for Tortington
I let a flat near Ford station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Tortington in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Tortington is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control, and apply each product to its tested details.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Landlord and commercial work in Tortington
For anyone letting property in or around Tortington, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
Why act early in Tortington
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. Older cottages and farmhouses around Tortington can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
What we’re called out for in Tortington
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
For buildings such as St Mary Magdalene's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Before booking anyone
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How long to leave it before use
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Tortington, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Getting ready for the visit

Related advice
Workplaces and buildings in Tortington
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Tortington, 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. 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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as Arundel CofE Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For landlords with property near Ford station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
