How we handle fire rated sealant in Leagreen
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. Common call-outs are for fire stopping disturbed by later work and old fire sealant that has split or come away, on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and service penetrations.
For a small place like Leagreen, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Workplaces and buildings in Leagreen
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Leagreen, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a building such as Hordle CofE (VA) Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Letting a property close to New Milton station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

FAQs for Leagreen
Do you work for landlords with property near New Milton station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Leagreen?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated, helping close the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take 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.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
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.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
Common problems we fix in Leagreen
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Open joints along the top of partitions
For buildings such as Church of All Saints, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What your quote should include
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What happens if the job turns out different
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that doesn’t depend on other work. Around Leagreen, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Why us?
- We never seal over old sealant
- We leave the area clean and tidy
