How the job changes by surface
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before applying the sealant.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Alton
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment for buildings in Alton. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. Typical jobs include fire seals that have cracked with movement and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, across pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations.
Washrooms in busy buildings wear their sealant out faster than a bathroom at home, and fire-rated joints need restoring whenever new services are run through a wall. In Alton, timings are planned around the building.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.

When to call us in Alton
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
Letting a property close to Alton station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In Alton, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about parking restrictions

When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Alton: your questions answered
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Alton?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do you work for landlords with property near Alton station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Alton?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you come to Alton?
We do. Alton is part of the area we cover.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. In a family home in Alton, a failed seal around a bath or a frame lets water into places you cannot see, like the floor under a bath, the back of a panel or the inside of a wall. Whatever the joint, failed sealant only gets worse.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

- Fully insured

Fire rated sealant around Alton
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Alton. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Lawrence, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you look after a building such as Saint Lawrence Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
