Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere like Hambledon 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.

- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.

Related advice
What fire rated sealant looks like in Hambledon
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hambledon Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Hambledon?
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
For buildings such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What preparation is included
- What insurance they hold
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Hambledon questions
Is fire rated sealant in Hambledon guaranteed?
All our work, in Hambledon and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Hambledon?
Yes, Hambledon is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In a small place like Hambledon, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
