Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Fire rated sealant in Chandler's Ford, done properly
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; 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, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. If you have seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a town like Chandler's Ford, commercial work can mean offices, shops, schools, surgeries or small business units. All of them have washroom and kitchen joints, and many have fire-rated joints around pipes and cables.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Fire rated sealant in Chandler's Ford: 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.
Managing a site like Chandler's Ford Infant School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Community buildings like St Boniface are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you let a flat or house near Chandlers Ford station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Common questions in Chandler's Ford
Is there a guarantee on fire rated sealant in Chandler's Ford?
All our work, in Chandler's Ford and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
I let a flat near Chandlers Ford station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated, helping close the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Chandler's Ford?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Leave it or put it right?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. In Chandler's Ford, as anywhere, most leaks start as a small gap in a joint, and they’re far easier to fix early.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the amount of work. A visit in Chandler's Ford needs access to the work and a place to park close by. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit

When it is not the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
