Fire rated sealant in East Cholderton, done properly

Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. If you are dealing with open joints along the top of partitions and open holes round services passing through fire walls, we can help, on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and service penetrations alike.
For a small place like East Cholderton, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.

What we’re called out for in East Cholderton
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
For landlords with property near Grateley station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
Questions to ask before you book

- Is VAT in the price?
- How long the guarantee is

Do the sealants smell?

Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.

The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
Fire rated sealant in East Cholderton: 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Managing a site like Amport Church of England Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
