Fire rated sealant in Ludgershall
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps, and the jobs we see most are ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and gaps left after a refit or conversion.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Ludgershall normally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.

What we’re called out for in Ludgershall
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St James, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the colour is chosen
- What the cure time is
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.

FAQs for Ludgershall
Is there a guarantee on fire rated sealant in Ludgershall?
All our work, in Ludgershall and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Ludgershall?
Yes, Ludgershall is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Why deal with it now?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. In an older home around Ludgershall, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Ludgershall
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Ludgershall Castle Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
