About our fire rated sealant in Empshott
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. 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 have fire seals that have cracked with movement and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Empshott, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

FAQs for Empshott
Will you come out to Empshott?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Liss station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all and which one is used depends on the job.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Workplaces and buildings in Empshott
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Church of the Holy Rood are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Empshott?
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
If you let a flat or house near Liss station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access from start to finish. For a village or hamlet like Empshott, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- 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.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach, and we will tell you.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
