Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Easton
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and open holes round services passing through fire walls.
Somewhere as small as Easton, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth with backing where the detail needs it.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Easton?
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Managing a site like Peter Symonds College? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
What happens if it’s left?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Easton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

Can I do it myself?
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, then guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Easton, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove

There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

What else we do in Easton
Commercial buildings in Easton
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 Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For landlords with property near Winchester station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated, helping close the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.

Do you provide details of the products used?
