Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

How we handle fire rated sealant in East Harting
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and door frames with gaps between frame and wall.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near East Harting, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. Older cottages and farmhouses around East Harting can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in East Harting and across Hampshire. Several sites can go on one quote.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist and we’ll mention anything we notice.
What fire rated sealant looks like in East Harting
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, 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.
Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Mary & St Gabriel are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Schools such as Harting CofE Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use, installed to its details.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in East Harting
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
If you let a flat or house near Petersfield station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
