What fire rated sealant looks like in Cove
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Cove. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Rented homes near Fleet station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a building such as Parsonage Farm Nursery and Infant School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Cove
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. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are open holes round services passing through fire walls and door frames with gaps between frame and wall.
Around a place like Cove, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Cove
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. Homes in smaller places like Cove can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together 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. In a smaller place like Cove, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- 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.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear the area around the work

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
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.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
Common questions in Cove
Is Cove within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Fleet station?
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 will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all and which one is used depends on the job.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
When to call us in Cove
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St John the Baptist, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
