Fire stopping for commercial buildings in Pagham
We are commercial sealant applicators, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators on site. We hold no third-party fire-stopping installer certificate, and we won’t pretend otherwise. What we offer is careful installation of the specified sealant to its tested detail, with a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you’re dealing with hidden openings found during inspections and open linear gaps along the top of fire-resisting walls, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Pagham, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Barn and farm-building conversions near places like Pagham often combine new partitions with old walls. Where a pipe or cable passes through a fire-resisting wall, the seal must match the tested detail: product, substrate, gap and depth.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Leave it or put it right?
An unsealed opening affects more than fire safety: they also carry noise, draughts and smells between rooms. Sealing them to the specified detail deals with the fire risk first, and the other benefits follow. For buildings around smaller places like Pagham, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why clients in Pagham choose us

FAQs: Pagham
Is Ferry Yard Industrial Park, near Pagham, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Pagham and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Ferry Yard Industrial Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Chichester?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Can you tell us what fire stopping our building needs?
No, we don’t design fire stopping. Once you have a specification, we can price and install the sealant elements of it.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Are you members of a third-party fire-stopping installer scheme?
No, and we’d rather be clear about that. Third-party schemes aren’t a legal requirement, but many clients and main contractors ask for them. If it doesn’t require one, we can install the specified fire-rated sealant to its tested detail.
What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Plastic pipes whose detail calls for a collar or wrap
- Gaps in walls that were never built as compartment walls
- Reviewing a building’s overall fire safety
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Cable penetrations
- Small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows
- Pipe penetrations
- Linear gaps at wall heads
- Service gaps in risers
- Joints between fire-resisting walls and floors
Where services cross fire walls in Pagham
Fire stopping of openings and penetrations in England falls under Approved Document B. The national BS 476 classes are due to drop out of it from 2 September 2029, leaving the European BS EN 13501-2 route, subject to transitional arrangements. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail. Pagham is about 58 miles from central London. Offices around the capital are refitted often, and the cabling that follows can breach fire-resisting walls.
On estates like Ferry Yard Industrial Park, 1.9 miles south-west of Pagham, the wall between office and warehouse is often fire-resisting, and cables through it need the specified seal. Older community buildings such as The Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket that have been rewired or given new heating can have service gaps through walls worth checking against the specification. Theatres, wards and plant rooms at sites like Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital (to the north-east of Pagham) all have compartment walls crossed by services.

How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes anything from one day to a planned run of visits, depending on the number of seals and the access, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Pagham, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.

General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
- Leave fire sealant to cure fully before covering it
- Record which product was used where
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
Don’t patch a fire-rated seal with anything outside its tested detail. Repairs need the same product and detail as the original unless the designer specifies otherwise.
Ask every contractor who works in risers or voids to report openings they create. It costs little and catches breaches early.
