Fire rated sealant in Newfound, done properly
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, and we can record what went where. We work on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about open joints along the top of partitions and door frames with gaps between frame and wall.
Somewhere as small as Newfound, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

FAQs for Newfound
Will you come out to Newfound?
Yes. Newfound is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Basingstoke station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.

What we are called out for in Newfound
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
The most common problems we see are:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Rented homes near Basingstoke station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Are they insured?
What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number of rooms or windows
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Where the property is
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
- A few photos by email, if you can
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job.
What happens if it’s left?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. Around Newfound, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Newfound
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, 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.
Managing a site like Oakley Infant School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St John's, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Can I do it myself?

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Newfound, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
