Fire rated sealant in Goodnestone, done properly
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. If you have gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, we can put it right, on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and linear gaps alike.
Somewhere as small as Goodnestone, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

What else we do in Goodnestone
Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Around Goodnestone, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Questions from Goodnestone
Will you come out to Goodnestone?
Yes. Goodnestone is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Adisham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, we don’t assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
When to call us in Goodnestone
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 they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Managing a site like Goodnestone Church of England Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Commercial buildings in Goodnestone
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Church of the Holy Cross are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you let a flat or house near Adisham station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
