Fire-rated sealant in Hook, Hampshire
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Hook? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
About our fire rated sealant in Hook
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. If you have unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and holes left by a change of layout, we can help, on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps alike.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Hook, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Fire rated sealant in Hook: local notes

We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Hook. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.

How it works

It usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access.

- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Getting ready for the visit

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
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.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. In an older home around Hook, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
