When to call us in Harbridge
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Holes left by a change of layout
Around Harbridge, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Fire rated sealant in Harbridge, 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. We are often asked to deal with damaged fire sealant left by other trades and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, across service penetrations, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
Somewhere as small as Harbridge, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Harbridge and across Hampshire.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Harbridge
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the sealant bonds.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and record where they are.
FAQs for Harbridge
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Harbridge?
All our work, in Harbridge and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Harbridge for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Harbridge is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That is not something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it with a record of each location.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
