Your questions about fire rated sealant in Drayton
Do you work for landlords with property near Cosham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you come out to Drayton?
Yes. Drayton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are.

- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.

Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Fire rated sealant around Drayton
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Drayton, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a building such as Springfield School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For buildings such as Drayton Methodist Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What else we do in Drayton
How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions normally leave a mix of old and new service holes. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and the locations noted.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Drayton?
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
For landlords with property near Cosham station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
