What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Lower Burgate, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
How to prepare

Advice
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Lower Burgate
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We’re often asked to deal with damaged fire sealant left by other trades and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, across plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps.
Somewhere as small as Lower Burgate, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Lower Burgate and across Hampshire.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building

Lower Burgate: your questions answered
Is fire rated sealant in Lower Burgate guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Lower Burgate?
Yes, Lower Burgate is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves; we install to those details and record what we did.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
Common problems we fix in Lower Burgate
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
For buildings such as St Mary's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the colour is chosen
Fire rated sealant around Lower Burgate
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as The Burgate School and Sixth Form, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
