How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps

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.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Westhampnett
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you’re dealing with gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, we can help, on flats & HMOs, door frames and linear gaps alike.
Somewhere as small as Westhampnett, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Asking for a quote

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Westhampnett
Do you work for landlords with property near Chichester station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Westhampnett within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we will plan around it.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all, and the choice depends on the gap.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
Do you need fire rated sealant in Westhampnett?
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Peter, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as Westhampnett, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In a small place like Westhampnett, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
