Fire rated sealant in Chawton
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. If you have standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, we can help, on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps alike.
For a small place like Chawton, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Fire rated sealant in Chawton: 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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Chawton. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chawton Church of England Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For landlords with property near Alton station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like Church of St Nicholas are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before the sealant goes in.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Chawton
Do you work for landlords with property near Alton station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Chawton?
Yes. Chawton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Chawton?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Why it’s worth doing now in Chawton
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chawton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
- How much there is to do
- How easy the joints are to reach
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
Landlord and commercial work in Chawton
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Landlords and letting agents in Chawton can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. In a small place like Chawton, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap 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.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
