Fire rated sealant in Clatterford, done properly
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We’re often asked to deal with gaps left after a refit or conversion and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, on door frames, flats & HMOs and linear gaps.
In a village or hamlet like Clatterford, 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.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in the Isle of Wight.

Commercial buildings in Clatterford
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Clatterford. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St. Nicholas in Castro, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a village or hamlet like Clatterford, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Common problems we fix in Clatterford
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Look out for these signs:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
If you look after a building such as St Thomas of Canterbury Catholic Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

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
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Clatterford
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:

Clatterford: your questions answered
Do you cover Clatterford for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Clatterford is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Clatterford?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use fitted to the maker’s details.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What happens if it’s left?
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. In a small place like Clatterford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
