What happens if it’s left?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Around Finkley, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Finkley
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. If you have gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can put it right, on service penetrations, linear gaps and flats & HMOs alike.
In a village or hamlet like Finkley, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Finkley and across Hampshire.

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Workplaces and buildings in Finkley
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like Christ Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
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.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Finkley
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
Look out for these signs:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
If you let a flat or house near Andover station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Finkley
Is Finkley within the area you cover?
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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Andover station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
