Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Tye
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. If you have unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and holes left by a change of layout, we can put it right, on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and door frames alike.
Somewhere as small as Tye, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What happens if it’s left?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. In a small place like Tye, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

FAQs for Tye
I let a flat near Emsworth station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Tye?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use and we plan access around the people using them. Out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Fire rated sealant in Tye: local notes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Tye, 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. In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as Mill Rythe Junior School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Surface by surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist and we will mention anything we notice.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the sealant bonds.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Do not 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.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.

What we’re called out for in Tye
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
If you let a flat or house near Emsworth station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is VAT in the price?
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Are they insured?
