Fire rated sealant in Burkham, done properly
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are open holes round services passing through fire walls and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers.
Work in a small place like Burkham is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Fire rated sealant in Burkham: local notes
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.
Around Burkham, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it. Rented homes near Alton station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Leave it or put it right?
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we will tell you. Around Burkham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

What else we do in Burkham
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both, following the tested detail.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Burkham, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
