Commercial buildings in East Anton
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around East Anton. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as St Paul Church Centre, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Managing a site like Endeavour Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

About our fire rated sealant in East Anton
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. Typical jobs include gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations.
In a smaller place like East Anton, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Do you need fire rated sealant in East Anton?
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.
The most common problems we see are:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Letting a property close to Andover station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
What to look for in a quote

- Whether VAT is included
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What preparation is included
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Questions from East Anton
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in East Anton?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Will you come out to East Anton?

Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need pictures or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. A visit to East Anton is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints
