We work on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are linear gaps at the head of walls and damaged fire sealant left by other trades.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Ibsley, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the amount of work. For a village or hamlet like Ibsley, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Ibsley
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- The amount of work
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
- 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 are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
Every job is quoted individually. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Ibsley?
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Martins, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Ibsley
Will you come out to Ibsley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Ibsley?
All our work, in Ibsley and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it, recording the locations and products.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including preparation and clearing up. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Usually, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.

In and around Ibsley, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
