About our fire rated sealant in Lordswood
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We work on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about fire seals that have cracked with movement and damaged fire sealant left by other trades.
In a smaller place like Lordswood, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?

How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Lordswood?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
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.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all, and the choice depends on the gap.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lordswood
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Homes in smaller places like Lordswood can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details.
What else we do in Lordswood
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and the area is left clean. A visit to Lordswood is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Commercial buildings in Lordswood
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Lordswood, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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, 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 let a flat or house near Millbrook (Hants) station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For buildings such as Lord's Hill Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Schools such as Oakwood Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
