Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Red Rice
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. If you’re dealing with open joints along the top of partitions and old fire sealant that has split or come away, we can help, on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry alike.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Red Rice, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Why deal with it now?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that does not depend on other work. In a small place like Red Rice, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Red Rice, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment, flat by flat if needed.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much there is to do
- Which sealant suits the joint
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few pictures by email, if you can

What we are called out for in Red Rice
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:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
If you look after a building such as Redrice School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether VAT is included

Commercial buildings in Red Rice
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. 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, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For landlords with property near Andover station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Red Rice questions
Do you cover Red Rice for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Red Rice is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Andover station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we’ll plan around it.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
