Fire Rated Sealant in Headley Down
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Headley Down? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Headley Down
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We’re often asked to deal with open joints along the top of partitions and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Headley Down, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Surface by surface
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions normally leave a mix of old and new service holes. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and record where they are.
Why act early in Headley Down
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. In an older home around Headley Down, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Commercial buildings in Headley Down
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For landlords with property near Liphook station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Questions from Headley Down
Is Headley Down in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Headley Down is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Liphook station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Headley Down?
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Holme Church of England Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
