Fire rated sealant around Beech
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Alton station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a building such as Amery Hill School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

We’re often asked to deal with gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, across flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps.

Advice
FAQs for Beech
Do you cover smaller places like Beech?
Yes. Beech is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Alton station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Around Beech, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before work begins.

When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- 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 before you book.

What else we do in Beech
Do you need fire rated sealant in Beech?
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Look out for any of the following:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Community buildings like St Peter's are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Before you book anyone
- What product goes in the joint
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Is VAT in the price?
Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length so there are no open sections left.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
