How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a smaller place like Sarisbury Green, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Move anything stored near the joints

Fire rated sealant in Sarisbury Green
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. We work on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged fire sealant left by other trades and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Sarisbury Green normally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we seal

How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail, and tell you if sealant alone isn’t the right fix.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before the sealant goes in.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the 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.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Fire rated sealant around Sarisbury Green
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Sarisbury Green, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St Paul are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you let a flat or house near Swanwick station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Common problems we fix in Sarisbury Green
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Schools such as Sarisbury Infant School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
