Fire rated sealant in Fawley Bottom
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Fawley Bottom, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Fawley Bottom as everywhere else we work.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. Older cottages and farmhouses around Fawley Bottom can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Fawley Bottom
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
If you let a flat or house near Henley-On-Thames station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
For anyone letting property in or around Fawley Bottom, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Workplaces and buildings in Fawley Bottom
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
For buildings such as St Mary the Virgin's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
- Working hours on commercial sites
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t, so ask us which we used.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Fawley Bottom needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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 and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any tricky access
