Fire-rated sealant in Shedfield, Hampshire
Fire-stopping gaps in Shedfield need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment

How we handle fire rated sealant in Shedfield
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, and we can record what went where. Typical jobs include gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, across plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps.
For a small place like Shedfield, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
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.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Shedfield
Shedfield has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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.
Managing a site like St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Letting a property close to Botley station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St John, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and the area is left clean. In a small place like Shedfield, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing.
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Why act early in Shedfield
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Shedfield, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, 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.
