How we handle fire rated sealant in Old Alresford
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. Common call-outs are for standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and old fire sealant that has split or come away, across plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and linear gaps.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Old Alresford, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
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 happens if it’s left?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Around Old Alresford, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Old Alresford
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. Old Alresford has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Perins School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Questions from Old Alresford
Do you take on hotel work around Old Alresford?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.

Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all and which one is used depends on the job.
Landlord and commercial work in Old Alresford
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
