How we handle fire rated sealant in Sandy Balls
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. We work on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about old fire sealant that has split or come away and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
Work in a small place like Sandy Balls is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Sandy Balls and across Hampshire.

How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Sandy Balls needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- 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.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Sandy Balls
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like St Giles are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Why act early in Sandy Balls
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Sandy Balls, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Sandy Balls questions
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Sandy Balls?
All our work, in Sandy Balls and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Sandy Balls?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot to help seal the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Common problems we fix in Sandy Balls
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
The most common problems we see are:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Burgate School and Sixth Form, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
