What sealant work cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety

Fire rated sealant in Curdridge
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on flats & HMOs, door frames and plasterboard & masonry, and common reasons people get in touch are fire stopping disturbed by later work and door frames with gaps between frame and wall.
For a small place like Curdridge, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Curdridge
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
If you manage several properties in or around Curdridge, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Commercial buildings in Curdridge
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Rented homes near Botley station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Common questions in Curdridge
Do you cover smaller places like Curdridge?
Yes, Curdridge is covered. 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.
I let a flat near Botley station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in so it’s there for the next inspection.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
What affects the quote in Curdridge
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The type of property
- If someone has resealed it before
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
What we are called out for in Curdridge
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Curdridge Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the cure time is
- How much experience the applicator has
- What preparation is included
- What guarantee comes with the work
Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in with backing where the detail needs it.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Curdridge, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- 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.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any tricky access
