How we handle fire rated sealant in Lockerley
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over. If you have seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Lockerley, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Lockerley
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lockerley Church of England Endowed Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What affects the quote in Lockerley
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:

- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The amount of work
- How easy the joints are to reach
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Roughly how big the job is

How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are in most cases. Somewhere like Lockerley needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth over any backing the detail calls for.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both, following the tested detail.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Lockerley
I let a flat near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Lockerley?

How much does fire rated sealant cost in Lockerley?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

Fire rated sealant around Lockerley
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St John, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
