Why it’s worth doing now in Soake
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. Around Soake, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Fire rated sealant in Soake, done properly
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and holes left by a change of layout, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Soake, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Soake 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 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 faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

How we quote for fire rated sealant
We don’t publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- The rough size of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
We quote each job on its own. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before applying the sealant.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
Soake questions
Is Soake within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Bedhampton station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Fire rated sealant in Soake: local notes
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Letting a property close to Bedhampton station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Denmead Junior School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
