Fire rated sealant in Bentworth
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you are dealing with holes left by a change of layout and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Bentworth, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Bentworth
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like St Mary's Bentworth Church of England Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like St. Mary's Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For landlords with property near Alton station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Bentworth
You will get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many areas need sealing
- Which sealant suits the joint
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- The type of property
- Where the property is
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a village or hamlet like Bentworth, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit

For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured.
What else we do in Bentworth
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Do not 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.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Bentworth questions
I let a flat near Alton station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Bentworth within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we will say if we spot a problem with them.
Why act early in Bentworth
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Around Bentworth, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
