Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Southington
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on linear gaps, door frames and service penetrations, and people most often call us about gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
Work in a small place like Southington is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Commercial buildings in Southington
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For landlords with property near Overton station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Should I try it myself first?
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, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail.
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Southington, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- 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
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
Getting a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Advice
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
What we are called out for in Southington
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Overton Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Why it’s worth doing now in Southington
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. Older cottages and farmhouses around Southington can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Questions from Southington
Will you come out to Southington?
Yes, Southington is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Overton station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service, or ask us to do it.

Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved

- How easy the joints are to reach
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
