Fire rated sealant in Westergate, done properly
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you have seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and open joints along the top of partitions, we can help, whatever the surface.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like Westergate have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Landlord and commercial work in Westergate
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
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.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.

Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Parking around Westergate is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Commercial buildings in Westergate
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, 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 let a flat or house near Barnham station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Schools such as Aldingbourne Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
