How we handle fire rated sealant in Hinton Ampner
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. If you are dealing with open joints along the top of partitions and open gaps behind door architraves, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Work in a small place like Hinton Ampner is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Hinton Ampner
Will you come out to Hinton Ampner?
Yes, Hinton Ampner is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is there a guarantee on fire rated sealant in Hinton Ampner?
All our work, in Hinton Ampner and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. In a small place like Hinton Ampner, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any water getting in

Commercial buildings in Hinton Ampner
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.
For buildings such as Church of All Saints, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
What we are called out for in Hinton Ampner
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cheriton Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
