Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we’ll plan around it.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Monk Sherborne, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Common problems we fix in Monk Sherborne
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Letting a property close to Basingstoke station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Before you book anyone
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Are they insured?
Why act early in Monk Sherborne
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Around Monk Sherborne, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What you get with us

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Monk Sherborne
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as Church of All Saints, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Schools such as The Priory Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
