Fire rated sealant in Ovington, done properly
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That’s the part we focus on, gap by gap. We work on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are holes left by a change of layout and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
For a small place like Ovington, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Ovington questions
Is fire rated sealant in Ovington guaranteed?
All our work, in Ovington and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Ovington?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Ovington is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant and which one is used depends on the job.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Ovington
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
Managing a site like Perins School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is chosen
- What insurance they hold
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- The length of the guarantee
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. In a small place like Ovington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
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 the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot and we’ll tell you which one you have.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

What else we do in Ovington
Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before the sealant goes in.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size.
How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Ovington needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Fire rated sealant around Ovington

Community buildings like Church of St Peter are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
