Fire-rated sealant in Overton, Hampshire
Our applicators work in Overton on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a one-year guarantee.
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Holes left by a change of layout
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the 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.
Fire rated sealant in Overton, done properly
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. Typical jobs include holes left by a change of layout and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, on linear gaps, door frames and service penetrations.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like Overton have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Overton questions
Do you cover smaller places like Overton?
Yes, Overton is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Overton station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will tell you when we quote.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Overton
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Overton Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether you can choose the colour
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. Homes in smaller places like Overton can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

What fire rated sealant looks like in Overton
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you let a flat or house near Overton station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Overton
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The size of the job
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- When we can work, for business premises
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- A few photos by email, if you can
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a smaller place like Overton, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
