Fire Rated Sealant in St Cross
Fire-stopping gaps in St Cross need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We work through the gaps on your assessment room by room.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in St Cross
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. If you have unsealed gaps around fire door frames and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can put it right.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near St Cross, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What fire rated sealant looks like in St Cross
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around St Cross. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as St. Cross Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you look after a building such as St Faith's Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Do you need fire rated sealant in St Cross?
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
If you let a flat or house near Winchester station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.

The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the amount of work.

- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Leave it or put it right?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. In a smaller place like St Cross, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
