Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Openings that need collars, wraps, batts or boards rather than sealant
- Designing or specifying fire stopping, which sits with the designer or fire engineer
- Approving the work on behalf of building control

Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Angmering
Fire-rated sealant suits many small service penetrations: copper and steel pipes, cables and some small ducts where the tested detail allows. Larger openings and some plastic pipes call for collars, wraps, batts or boards instead. We use sealant where it is the specified product, and we tell you when a detail calls for something else. Most enquiries involve fire stopping installed outside its tested range and open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls, on joints between fire-resisting walls and floors, pipe penetrations and cable penetrations. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Angmering is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Buildings in a smaller place such as Angmering that need fire-rated sealing are typically schools, care homes, surgeries, small offices and flats over shops. Around those penetrations, fire-rated sealant is installed if specified, with depth, backing and gap all as tested.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Several jobs near Angmering can be grouped on one trip. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- We read the specification, drawings or penetration schedule you send and ask about anything unclear.
- Every penetration is compared with its detail: wall or floor type, service, gap size and depth.
- Anything that doesn’t belong in the opening, such as expanding foam or general-purpose filler, is removed.
- We fit the backing the detail asks for, to the stated depth.
- We apply the specified sealant to the depth and around the services as the detail shows.
- Openings that need a collar, wrap, batt or other product are flagged to you rather than filled with sealant.
Before we start on site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Why it’s worth doing now in Angmering
Sealing behind the M&E trades area by area beats a sweep at the end. While the area is still open, every opening is easy to see and reach. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Block walls and concrete floors are common substrates for penetration seals. Dust and loose debris are cleared out of the opening.
Small ducts
We seal around ducts only within what the tested detail covers. Dampers and ductwork systems themselves are outside our work.
Penetration seals near Angmering
A 2-mile radius around Angmering takes in several hotels. A hotel refit often runs new services through compartment walls between bedrooms and corridors, and each opening needs the specified seal. There are four care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Angmering. Where new services have gone through compartment walls in a care setting, the gaps need the specified product. Where that’s fire-rated sealant, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
Older community buildings such as The Parish Church of St Margaret that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification. Where a unit on an estate such as Rustington Trading Estate, 1.3 miles to the south-west of Angmering, has fire-resisting walls between offices and warehouse, any new service through them should be sealed to the tested detail. For a school such as St Wilfrids Catholic Primary School, penetration sealing fits best at the end of the summer works.

Your questions answered
What does the BS 476 change mean for fire-rated sealant in Angmering?
Approved Document B loses its BS 476 references from 2 September 2029, and BS EN 13501-2 becomes the route, subject to transitional arrangements. The designer or fire engineer sets the specification, and we install the product to the manufacturer’s tested detail.
Do you work on fire-rated sealing in hotels in Angmering?
Yes, to the specification and the product’s tested detail. It goes in to the manufacturer’s tested detail for the wall or floor and the services passing through, and we will tell you if the detail calls for a collar, wrap or batt instead.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Put resealing into every M&E and fit-out package
- Treat an open penetration as a priority repair
- Foam or ordinary sealant is never a fire-seal repair
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
Allow the manufacturer’s stated cure time before boxing in or decorating. Some fire-rated sealants accept paint and some don’t, and the data sheet says which.
Specify fire stopping early on refits, not as an afterthought. Details can then be picked to suit the actual pipes, cables and ducts, and installation follows the programme.
