Fire rated sealant in Appleshaw
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. We work on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and door frames, and the jobs we see most are ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and gaps left after a refit or conversion.
For a small place like Appleshaw, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Do you cover Appleshaw for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Appleshaw is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Andover station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?

Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

What we are called out for in Appleshaw
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
For landlords with property near Andover station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Appleshaw, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- 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 gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us if parking is tricky

What fire rated sealant looks like in Appleshaw
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.
Community buildings like Church of St Peter in the Wood are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Appleshaw St Peter's CofE Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints

What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What happens if it’s left?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. Around Appleshaw, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
