How we handle fire rated sealant in Droxford
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. We work on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and flats & HMOs, and the jobs we see most are fire stopping disturbed by later work and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Droxford, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Where the property is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details, and pictures are welcome.
Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Droxford, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

Fire rated sealant in Droxford: local notes
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.
If you look after a building such as Droxford Junior School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Community buildings like Church of St Mary and All Saints are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.

What else we do in Droxford
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Droxford, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in

Questions from Droxford
Is Droxford in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Droxford is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Droxford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.
