West Tisted Fire Rated Sealant
We cover West Tisted for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Fire rated sealant in West Tisted, done properly
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near West Tisted, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as West Tisted, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any tricky access

Workplaces and buildings in West Tisted
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. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary Magdalene, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in West Tisted
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Which sealant suits the joint
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth over any backing the detail calls for.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
West Tisted questions
Do you cover smaller places like West Tisted?

How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in West Tisted?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Why it’s worth doing now in West Tisted
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Older cottages and farmhouses around West Tisted can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.

What we are called out for in West Tisted
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
Look out for these signs:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
Around West Tisted, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- Is VAT in the price?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Which colour the sealant will be
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes.
