FAQs for Copythorne
Do you work for landlords with property near Ashurst New Forest station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Copythorne within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use and we plan access around the people using them. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Fire rated sealant in Copythorne, done properly
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. We work on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are old fire sealant that has split or come away and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment.
Somewhere as small as Copythorne, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
- Any mould that needs treating
- Any working-time requirements on site
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- A few photos by email, if you can
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and the locations noted.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
Why deal with it now?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Older cottages and farmhouses around Copythorne can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.

Fire rated sealant in Copythorne: 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, 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.
For landlords with property near Ashurst New Forest station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Copythorne CofE Infant School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What else we do in Copythorne
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access from start to finish. Somewhere like Copythorne needs a little journey planning: 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.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky
