When to call us in Abbotts Ann
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
If you let a flat or house near Andover station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they hold
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether you can choose the colour

I let a flat near Andover station. Can you help?

Do you take out the old sealant first?

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.

Why it’s worth doing now in Abbotts Ann
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Abbotts Ann, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
