About our fire rated sealant in Worthing
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We work on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and door frames with gaps between frame and wall.
Worthing has offices, shops, places to stay and schools as well as homes, all with washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant. We cover both day-to-day sealant and fire-rated sealant, installed to the manufacturer’s tested details.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. In a large rental market like Worthing, tired sealant leads to tenant complaints about mould, damp and leaks. It’s simpler to sort between tenants than in the middle of a let.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.

Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Worthing?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
Common problems we fix in Worthing
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Look out for any of the following:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
Rented homes near West Worthing station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- The length of the guarantee
- Is VAT in the price?
- Who turns up on the day
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Commercial jobs in Worthing can be planned out of hours where a building can’t close, while home visits are arranged within our normal working hours, Monday to Saturday.
- 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.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any tricky access
