Fire rated sealant in Arreton
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. Common call-outs are for open joints along the top of partitions and open holes round services passing through fire walls, across plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps.
Work in a small place like Arreton is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.

Why act early in Arreton
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. In a small place like Arreton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each.

Arreton questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sandown station?

Will you come out to Arreton?

What does fire rated sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.

Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we will plan around it.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
