How we handle fire rated sealant in Cadnam
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment for buildings in Cadnam. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. We work on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are fire stopping disturbed by later work and door frames with gaps between frame and wall.
Somewhere as small as Cadnam, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Cadnam
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
If you let a flat or house near Ashurst New Forest station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

FAQs for Cadnam
Do you work for landlords with property near Ashurst New Forest station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Cadnam within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
Commercial buildings in Cadnam
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bartley Church of England Junior School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the size of the job.

- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
