Do you need fire rated sealant in Hastingleigh?
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
The most common problems we see are:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
For landlords with property near Wye station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Hastingleigh
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We are often asked to deal with standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, on linear gaps, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Hastingleigh, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we will tell you which one you have.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Hastingleigh
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.
If you look after a building such as Bodsham Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For buildings such as Church of St Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Hastingleigh
I let a flat near Wye station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Hastingleigh?
Yes, Hastingleigh is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Hastingleigh?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Why deal with it now?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a small place like Hastingleigh, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
