When it isn’t the sealant

- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own

Fire rated sealant in Preston Candover
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We work on door frames, service penetrations and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are open joints along the top of partitions and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Preston Candover, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

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, and we will tell you how long to expect.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Preston Candover and across Hampshire. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. Somewhere as small as Preston Candover, access is often the only tricky part. 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
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Why it’s worth doing now in Preston Candover
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Preston Candover, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Commercial buildings in Preston Candover

We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St. Mary the Virgin, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Common reasons people contact us are:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Preston Candover Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
