Fire-rated sealant in Hensting, Hampshire
Our applicators work in Hensting on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
Fire rated sealant in Hensting
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you’re dealing with standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Work in a small place like Hensting is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

When to call us in Hensting
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
If you let a flat or house near Shawford station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
What your quote should include
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Workplaces and buildings in Hensting
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of the Holy Trinity, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hensting
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Around Hensting, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Related advice
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.

Do you cover smaller places like Hensting?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product.
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run so there are no open sections left.
