Fire-rated sealant in Aldershot, Hampshire

Fire rated sealant in Aldershot, done properly
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That is the part we focus on, gap by gap. We work on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are fire seals that have cracked with movement and open holes round services passing through fire walls.
If you look after a school, care home, pub or office in Aldershot, washroom sealant, kitchen joints and fire-rated sealant around service openings all need upkeep. Out-of-hours working is possible to arrange.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified.
What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Parking in a town like Aldershot is generally straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What affects the quote in Aldershot
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- When we can work, for business premises
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:

Common problems we fix in Aldershot
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Schools such as Talavera Junior School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Aldershot
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Aldershot station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Community buildings like Church of the Holy Trinity are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
