- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls

When to call us in Eastrop
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
The most common problems we see are:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
For buildings such as Church of St Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

About our fire rated sealant in Eastrop
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. Typical jobs include seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, across plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps.
In a smaller place like Eastrop, 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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Can I do it myself?
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Eastrop
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In an older home around Eastrop, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

Fire rated sealant in Eastrop: local notes
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Eastrop. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Costello School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Letting a property close to Basingstoke station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

What else we do in Eastrop
Common questions in Eastrop
I let a flat near Basingstoke station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you come out to Eastrop?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use, with access planned around residents or staff. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Parking around Eastrop is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- 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 faces cleaned.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
