Fire rated sealant in Chineham
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. Typical jobs include ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and open joints along the top of partitions, across flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations.
In a smaller place like Chineham, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What affects the quote in Chineham
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the job is, and your postcode
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Chineham questions
I let a flat near Basingstoke station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Chineham in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Chineham is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we will plan the work to suit.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords and agents in Chineham can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and the area is left clean. A visit to Chineham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth with backing where the detail needs it.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
When to call us in Chineham
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
The most common problems we see are:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Community buildings like Christ Church Chineham are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- When the joint can take water or movement

Commercial buildings in Chineham
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.
Letting a property close to Basingstoke station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Four Lanes Community Junior School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
