The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are.

- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Cufaude
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. If you have unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, we can help, on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs alike.
Somewhere as small as Cufaude, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Cufaude and across Hampshire.

Why deal with it now?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Around Cufaude, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, 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?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Cufaude
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.
Schools such as Bramley Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Community buildings like The Vyne Chapel are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you let a flat or house near Bramley (Hants) station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
