Fire rated sealant in Hiltingbury
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. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We work on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and common reasons people get in touch are new service routes left unsealed after building work and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Hiltingbury, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Hiltingbury
Do you cover Hiltingbury for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Hiltingbury is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Hiltingbury within the area you cover?
Yes. Hiltingbury is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant and which one is used depends on the job.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, we do not assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Hiltingbury?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. Homes in smaller places like Hiltingbury can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

What affects the quote in Hiltingbury
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
- Any working-time requirements on site
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the location and a short description of the problem. We’ll send you a clear quote before any work starts.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a job in Hiltingbury, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment room by room.
Fire rated sealant around Hiltingbury
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 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 Chandlers Ford station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For buildings such as St. Martin in the Woods, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Common problems we fix in Hiltingbury
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Schools such as Hiltingbury Junior School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

- What the cure time is
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
