Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Ringwood
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. Common call-outs are for open holes round services passing through fire walls and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, across door frames, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps.
In a smaller place like Ringwood, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a job in Ringwood, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded.
Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for the gap we are sealing.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth with backing where the detail needs it.
Fire rated sealant around Ringwood
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, 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. Ringwood has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
Schools such as Ringwood School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For buildings such as Trinity Congregational Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Why act early in Ringwood
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. In an older home around Ringwood, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before any work starts.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
