Fire-rated sealant in Four Marks, Hampshire
Our applicators work in Four Marks on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Linear gaps at the head of walls

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and the area is left clean. In a smaller place like Four Marks, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. 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.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Related advice
Fire rated sealant in Four Marks, done properly
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are old fire sealant that has split or come away and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers.
Around a place like Four Marks, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Four Marks?
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
For landlords with property near Alton station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Four Marks
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.
For buildings such as Church of the Good Shepherd, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you look after a building such as Four Marks Church of England Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Leave it or put it right?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Around Four Marks, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Four Marks: your questions answered
Is Four Marks in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Four Marks is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Four Marks?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we will agree it with you first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
