Fire rated sealant in Soberton Heath, done properly
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. Typical jobs include unsealed gaps around fire door frames and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, on linear gaps, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps.
In a village or hamlet like Soberton Heath, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Soberton Heath, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Why it’s worth doing now in Soberton Heath
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Older cottages and farmhouses around Soberton Heath can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Common problems we fix in Soberton Heath
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
If you look after a building such as Newtown Soberton Infant School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
Fire rated sealant around Soberton Heath
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of the Holy Trinity, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
