For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Letting agents and landlords in Longparish can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Fire rated sealant in Longparish, 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 detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. If you are dealing with fire stopping disturbed by later work and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, we can help, on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps alike.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Longparish, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Workplaces and buildings in Longparish
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.
Managing a site like Longparish Church of England Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Letting a property close to Whitchurch (Hampshire) station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Longparish, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal

Nearby places to Longparish
Other services in Longparish
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details before the trim goes back.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
FAQs for Longparish
Will you come out to Longparish?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We work from the specification you give us and install to the manufacturer’s details.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Longparish?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Longparish?
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
The most common problems we see are:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Holes left by a change of layout
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Nicholas, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
