Fire rated sealant in Soberton
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over. Common call-outs are for old fire sealant that has split or come away and open joints along the top of partitions, on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations.
For a small place like Soberton, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the quote in Soberton
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
- Where the property is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Soberton
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Common questions in Soberton
Will you come out to Soberton?
Yes, Soberton is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Soberton?
All our work, in Soberton and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
A typical job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions usually leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product.
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.
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Soberton needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Soberton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Soberton
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as Droxford Junior School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
