Signs you need fire rated sealant in Oversland
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Community buildings like Church of St Peter and St Paul are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What preparation is included
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Oversland
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you are dealing with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Oversland, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Why act early in Oversland
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. In a small place like Oversland, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

Fire rated sealant around Oversland

Rented homes near Selling station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a building such as Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Questions from Oversland
Is Oversland within the area you cover?
Yes. Oversland is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Selling station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Bigger jobs take longer.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant, to the product’s details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Oversland, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
