Fire rated sealant in Micheldever, done properly
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in Micheldever. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. Common call-outs are for gaps left after a refit or conversion and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs.
In a village or hamlet like Micheldever, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the amount of work. In a small place like Micheldever, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- 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.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky

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.

Leave it or put it right?
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Older cottages and farmhouses around Micheldever can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Micheldever?
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
If you let a flat or house near Micheldever station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We work along the whole run.
Workplaces and buildings in Micheldever
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Micheldever CofE Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Micheldever questions
Is Micheldever in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Micheldever is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use, installed to its details.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
