How we handle fire rated sealant in Chalton
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, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and linear gaps at the head of walls.
In a village or hamlet like Chalton, 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.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Chalton questions
Can you do fire rated sealant in Chalton?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Chalton is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Rowlands Castle station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Chalton?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant following the tested details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer, and we install to them.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
When to call us in Chalton
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
For buildings such as Church of St Michael, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Fire rated sealant in Chalton: 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, 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 landlords with property near Rowlands Castle station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The size of the job
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Chalton, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.

What else we do in Chalton
Leave it or put it right?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. Around Chalton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
