Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Fire rated sealant in Borden
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. If you’re dealing with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, we can help, on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations alike.
In a village or hamlet like Borden, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Borden, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Borden
Is Borden in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Borden is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Borden within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Borden?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Leave it or put it right?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Borden, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before applying the sealant.
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size before the trim goes back.
Fire rated sealant in Borden: local notes
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St Peter, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

When to call us in Borden
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
If you let a flat or house near Liss station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they hold
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What product goes in the joint
- The length of the guarantee
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
