Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Monkwood
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you are dealing with new service routes left unsealed after building work and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can put it right.
For a small place like Monkwood, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Fire rated sealant in Monkwood: local notes
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Monkwood Mission Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. In and around Monkwood, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Monkwood
Is Monkwood in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Monkwood is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is there a guarantee on fire rated sealant in Monkwood?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need photos or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
