About our fire rated sealant in Brown Candover
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant.
For a small place like Brown Candover, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Workplaces and buildings in Brown Candover
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St Peter, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Why it’s worth doing now in Brown Candover
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Older cottages and farmhouses around Brown Candover can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. The gap is cleaned and backed where required.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for each gap size.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Brown Candover?
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
For landlords with property near Micheldever station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Brown Candover, 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.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
