Fire Rated Sealant in Headbourne Worthy
Our applicators work in Headbourne Worthy on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.

- Open joints along the top of partitions

How we handle fire rated sealant in Headbourne Worthy
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We work on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps, and people most often call us about gaps left after a refit or conversion and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
For a small place like Headbourne Worthy, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What else we do in Headbourne Worthy
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Headbourne Worthy needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Fire rated sealant around Headbourne Worthy
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.
If you let a flat or house near Winchester station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kings Worthy Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What we are called out for in Headbourne Worthy
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before the sealant goes in.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Headbourne Worthy
Will you come out to Headbourne Worthy?
Yes, Headbourne Worthy is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Winchester station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame and we will tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
