About our fire stopping in Selsey
A fire-rated sealant is only one part of a tested system: its test evidence covers one product in one kind of wall or floor, with set services, gaps, depths and backing. Before we seal anything, we check the opening against the detail it is meant to follow, and we say so if it doesn’t fit. We work on pipe penetrations, service gaps in risers and small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are fire sealant pulled out of the opening and penetration schedules that need working through. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Selsey? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
For a facilities manager in Selsey, fire-rated sealing tends to follow other work: a new data cabinet, a heating upgrade, a kitchen refit. Checking after M&E works is good practice, and we will seal what’s found where fire-rated sealant is the specified product.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Quoting for work in Selsey
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Any access equipment needed
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The total length or number of joints
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a town like Selsey, we try to group jobs for the same client into one visit. Give us your access times and we’ll fit the work in.
- First we confirm the product and tested details named in the specification.
- Openings are measured and grouped by detail.
- Old or wrong materials are cut out.
- Where the detail needs backing, it goes in at the stated depth.
- We gun the sealant in to the specified depth around each service and tool it.
- We walk the completed areas with you and confirm the records agreed at quote stage.
What we need from you
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Look above ceilings when tiles are lifted for other jobs
- Have penetrations checked while they can still be seen
- Check with the data sheet before painting over fire sealant
- Settle who seals which penetrations at the start of a project
After the work, brief anyone else working in the area that the openings are now sealed. If a seal has to be opened for a new service, it should be reinstated to the same detail.
On fit-outs, get the fire-stopping specification agreed before the services go in. The designer can then choose details that suit the services planned, and the work runs in step with the M&E.
Where services cross fire walls in Selsey
Central London is about 61 miles from Selsey. Offices around the capital are refitted often, and the cabling that follows can breach fire-resisting walls, and the gaps need sealing with the specified product. Approved Document B is the English guidance that covers fire stopping around openings and penetrations. Its BS 476 references are being withdrawn from 2 September 2029, with BS EN 13501-2 classification taking over, subject to transitional arrangements. What we install is set by the specification, and it goes in to the tested detail.
Holiday works at schools like Seal Primary Academy often leave service openings to seal before pupils return. In a building such as St Peter's Church, any service penetration through a fire-resisting wall should be sealed to the specified detail. On a site such as Selsey Business Centre, under half a mile south-west of Selsey, every fit-out that runs new services through a compartment wall leaves penetrations to seal with the specified product.
Selsey is about 6 miles south-west of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Across the PO20 postcode area, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Across West Sussex, 373 places are covered, including Selsey. Sites around Portsmouth have their own page, about 14 miles away.
We take on service penetrations across the PO20 postcode area, for business premises of every kind. Streets here include Church Road, High Street and Ellis Square. Being close to the B2145, Selsey is easy to get to with materials and equipment.

A short drive away, we cover Bognor Regis (6 miles north-east), Chichester (7 miles north), Littlehampton (12 miles north-east), Rustington (13 miles north-east), Angmering (15 miles north-east) and Portfield (7 miles north). Selsey ranks among the main centres of West Sussex, with offices, shops, schools and other public and commercial buildings, and we cover them all.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Selsey can sit alongside others in a wider programme across West Sussex.
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Why deal with it now?
The longer openings stay, the more there tend to be: every new cable or pipe adds another. Keeping on top of it after each round of works keeps the job small, rather than turning into a full building survey and reseal. In a town like Selsey, a split, stained or mouldy joint is often the first thing visitors notice. Fresh sealant makes a building look maintained.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

Selsey: questions and answers
Will you work in a care home in Selsey without moving residents out?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Selsey, such as Selsey Business Centre?
Yes. We cover Selsey and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Selsey Business Centre. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with a description of the work.
Is fire stopping in Scotland covered by different guidance?
Our area runs from Greater London and the South East to every part of Scotland. In Scotland, clause 2.1.14 of the non-domestic Technical Handbook says service penetrations should keep at least the fire resistance of the wall or floor, using products tested for their end use.
