About our fire rated sealant in Hambrook
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. Typical jobs include new service routes left unsealed after building work and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, across plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps.
In a village or hamlet like Hambrook, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Hambrook
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Rented homes near Nutbourne station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We will tell you when we quote.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certificates aren’t something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer, and we install to them.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.

For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Hambrook, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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.
