Fire rated sealant in South Town, done properly
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We work on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps, and people most often call us about gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and unsealed gaps around fire door frames.
For a small place like South Town, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in South Town
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The address or postcode of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
What fire rated sealant looks like in South Town
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Rented homes near Alton station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For buildings such as Church of St Andrew, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Managing a site like Medstead Church of England Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like South Town needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

How much does fire rated sealant cost in South Town?

Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, we don’t assess buildings. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
