Fire rated sealant in Itchen Abbas, done properly
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are old fire sealant that has split or come away and open joints along the top of partitions.
Work in a small place like Itchen Abbas is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Questions from Itchen Abbas
I let a flat near Winchester station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you come out to Itchen Abbas?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Itchen Abbas?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Itchen Abbas.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use and we plan access around the people using them. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The amount of work
- When we can work, for business premises
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

- A few photos by email, if you can

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Itchen Abbas?
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Rented homes near Winchester station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Commercial buildings in Itchen Abbas
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as Itchen Abbas Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like Church of St John the Baptist are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for the gap we’re sealing.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
