About our fire rated sealant in Wix
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We are often asked to deal with door frames with gaps between frame and wall and fire stopping disturbed by later work, on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps.
Somewhere as small as Wix, 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.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Wix as everywhere else we work.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Wix
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Wix, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Wix and Wrabness Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

FAQs for Wix
Do you work for landlords with property near Wrabness station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Wix within the area you cover?
Yes, Wix is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment is not something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Wix, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
When to call us in Wix
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
Rented homes near Wrabness station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether the work is at height
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Need a quote? Please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the job. We’ll explain what we’d do and give you a clear quote before we start.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
