FAQs for West Chiltington
Can you do fire rated sealant in West Chiltington?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and West Chiltington is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like West Chiltington?
Yes. West Chiltington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Fire rated sealant in West Chiltington, done properly
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are gaps left after a refit or conversion and open joints along the top of partitions.
Work in a small place like West Chiltington is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What we’re called out for in West Chiltington
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open joints along the top of partitions
Managing a site like West Chiltington Community Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they hold
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
What fire rated sealant looks like in West Chiltington
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 Pulborough station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like St Mary's Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail and we will flag it.
Why act early in West Chiltington
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Around West Chiltington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like West Chiltington needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
