Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Cole Henley
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on door frames, service penetrations and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
Somewhere as small as Cole Henley, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
What affects the quote in Cole Henley
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many areas need sealing
- The amount of work
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Roughly how big the job is
- A few pictures by email, if you can
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on how much there is to do. For a village or hamlet like Cole Henley, 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.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
Getting a quote
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Related advice
Why act early in Cole Henley
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Around Cole Henley, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why us?
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Full insurance on every job
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Arbo and Everbuild products

More services for Cole Henley
Commercial buildings in Cole Henley
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Schools such as Testbourne Community School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Rented homes near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before applying the sealant.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
