About our fire rated sealant in Fair Oak
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 are dealing with sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can help, on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs alike.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like Fair Oak have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.

Fire rated sealant in Fair Oak: 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.
If you let a flat or house near Hedge End station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Community buildings like Saint Thomas are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as Fair Oak Junior School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a job in Fair Oak, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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 and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Questions from Fair Oak
Is Fair Oak in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Fair Oak is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Hedge End station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we’ll mention anything we notice about the door.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Fair Oak and the rest of Hampshire, along with the rest of our area.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Fair Oak, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Leave it or put it right?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. In a smaller place like Fair Oak, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
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.
