Fire Rated Sealant in Warnham
Fire-stopping gaps in Warnham need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Warnham
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We work on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and new service routes left unsealed after building work.
Work in a small place like Warnham is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Access and height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs
- How much there is to do
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Warnham
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Workplaces and buildings in Warnham
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as Warnham CofE Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Margaret are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you let a flat or house near Warnham station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Warnham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are in most cases.

- 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 faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
