Fire-rated sealant in Ampfield, Hampshire
We cover Ampfield for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Ampfield
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That’s the part we focus on, one gap at a time. We work on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are new service routes left unsealed after building work and damaged fire sealant left by other trades.
In a village or hamlet like Ampfield, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Ampfield
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 let a flat or house near Chandlers Ford station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For buildings such as Church of St Mark, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Common questions in Ampfield
Do you cover smaller places like Ampfield?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Chandlers Ford station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we will agree it with you first.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we’ll plan around it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
When to call us in Ampfield
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ampfield Church of England Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
Questions to ask before you book
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Are they insured?
