Over Wallop: your questions answered
Is Over Wallop within the area you cover?

Do you work for landlords with property near Grateley station?

Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The product needed can limit the range.

Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Over Wallop
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We are often asked to deal with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and new service routes left unsealed after building work, on flats & HMOs, door frames and pipe & cable gaps.
In a village or hamlet like Over Wallop, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What else we do in Over Wallop
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
When it is not the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
Commercial buildings in Over Wallop
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wallop Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Over Wallop
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Letting a property close to Grateley station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- What the cure time is
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Over Wallop, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords and agents in Over Wallop can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
