Can you do fire rated sealant in King's Somborne?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and King's Somborne is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Fire rated sealant in King's Somborne
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on service penetrations, door frames and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are open joints along the top of partitions and fire seals that have cracked with movement.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near King's Somborne, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in King's Somborne and across Hampshire.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on how much there is to do. For a village or hamlet like King's Somborne, 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.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Why act early in King's Somborne
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like King's Somborne, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Why book with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Tidy, careful work
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for the gap we’re sealing.
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in King's Somborne
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Open joints along the top of partitions
Community buildings like Church of St Peter and St Paul are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
