Fire rated sealant in Linkhill, done properly
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That’s the part we focus on, one gap at a time. Typical jobs include cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and fire stopping disturbed by later work, on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps.
Work in a small place like Linkhill is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

What we are called out for in Linkhill
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Community buildings like Mission Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Before booking anyone
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How much experience the applicator has
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. Around Linkhill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why book with us
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- 180+ five-star Google reviews
- We leave the area clean and tidy

Landlords, agents and businesses in Linkhill

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Linkhill, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified, flat by flat if needed.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.

Commercial buildings in Linkhill
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sandhurst Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
- The type of sealant required
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The type of property
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
