Fire rated sealant in Kingsmead, done properly
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. 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 plasterboard & masonry, door frames and service penetrations, and people most often call us about damaged fire sealant left by other trades and old fire sealant that has split or come away.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Kingsmead, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Fire rated sealant in Kingsmead: local notes
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Swanmore College of Technology? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Kingsmead: your questions answered
I let a flat near Botley station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Kingsmead for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Kingsmead is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a village or hamlet like Kingsmead, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
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 get them seen to.
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.
When to call us in Kingsmead
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Look out for these signs:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
If you let a flat or house near Botley station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
