What fire rated sealant looks like in Ludgershall

In and around Ludgershall, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number and length of the joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- Access and height
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

When to call us in Ludgershall
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Before booking anyone
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether VAT is included
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Ludgershall
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Ludgershall?
All our work, in Ludgershall and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Ludgershall within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent means it swells when heated. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, we don’t assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Usually, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Ludgershall, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Related advice
What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start so residents know what to expect.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
