How the job changes by surface
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
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 in Smannell
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. Typical jobs include open gaps behind door architraves and old fire sealant that has split or come away, across linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Smannell, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

When something else is needed
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Smannell, access is normally 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.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.

When to call us in Smannell
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
Community buildings like Christ Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- When the joint can take water or movement
What fire rated sealant looks like in Smannell
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.
If you look after a building such as Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Rented homes near Andover station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

FAQs for Smannell
I let a flat near Andover station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Smannell?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Smannell is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we will plan around it.
Why deal with it now?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Older cottages and farmhouses around Smannell can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
