Questions from Upper Beeding
Is Upper Beeding within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work in hotels near Upper Beeding?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used.
About our fire rated sealant in Upper Beeding
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. If you are dealing with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and open holes round services passing through fire walls, we can help, whatever the surface.
Work in a small place like Upper Beeding is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both from the manufacturer’s details.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
Common problems we fix in Upper Beeding
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Look out for any of the following:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Peter are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is chosen
- Who turns up on the day
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What product goes in the joint
Leave it or put it right?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. In a small place like Upper Beeding, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Upper Beeding
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Upper Beeding. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Shoreham-By-Sea station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Managing a site like Upper Beeding Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

How the visit works

- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
How to prepare

- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about parking restrictions
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.
Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
