- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. 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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Red Post Bridge
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. Common call-outs are for old fire sealant that has split or come away and linear gaps at the head of walls, on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Red Post Bridge, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Fire rated sealant around Red Post Bridge
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like John Hanson Community School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Rented homes near Andover station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Leave it or put it right?
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Around Red Post Bridge, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
