Common questions in Little Ann
Will you come out to Little Ann?
Yes. Little Ann is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Andover station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Little Ann and the rest of Hampshire, along with the rest of our area.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use, with access planned around residents or staff. Out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Little Ann
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. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you are dealing with cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and linear gaps at the head of walls, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Little Ann, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What we are called out for in Little Ann
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
For buildings such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is
- What the cure time is
- Are they insured?
- Which colour the sealant will be
What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe & cable gaps

More services for Little Ann
Fire rated sealant around Little Ann
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Andover station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a building such as Abbotts Ann Church of England Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Leave it or put it right?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Older cottages and farmhouses around Little Ann can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Advice
Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
