Our fire rated sealant service in Hampshire

Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Common call-outs are for unsealed gaps around fire door frames and linear gaps at the head of walls, across door frames, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps.

A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access.

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.
The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.

What you’ll pay

Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

Fire rated sealant across Hampshire: local notes

Hampshire has hotels, rented property, schools and workplaces, all with sealant to maintain. Fire-rated sealant is installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and washroom sealant is chosen for heavy use.

London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates. Each needs the right sealant for its age and materials. Coastal guest houses and holiday lets in Hampshire can see heavy use in busy months, which is hard on sealant and grout, and the weather is hard on the outside too.

Basingstoke: Community buildings like St Michael's Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you let a flat or house near Basingstoke station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Keeping the joints in good condition

A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:

File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks

Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.

If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.

Why deal with it now?

Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time.

When it is not the sealant

Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:

A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Signs you need fire rated sealant

Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs

Questions from Hampshire

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.

Do you do fire sealant around door frames?

Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame, and we will mention anything we notice about the door.

Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?

Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use. Out-of-hours work can be arranged.

Will you leave a mess?

No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.

Should I try DIY first?

That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

Do you cover Hampshire?

We do. Our applicators work in Hampshire, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
