Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we’ll tell you.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size before the trim goes back.
Why deal with it now?
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like West Kingston, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Do you need fire rated sealant in West Kingston?
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
If you let a flat or house near Angmering station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in West Kingston
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
- Whether the work is at height
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote

What else we do in West Kingston
Fire rated sealant around West Kingston
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around West Kingston, 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed.

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as East Preston Infant School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For buildings such as St Andrew's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

West Kingston: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Angmering station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to West Kingston?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
