Fire rated sealant in Stanhope
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. Typical jobs include holes left by a change of layout and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Stanhope usually means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Stanhope
Do you work for landlords with property near Ashford International station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Stanhope?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you work in Stanhope?
Yes, we do. Stanhope is part of the area we cover.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries a 12-month guarantee.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames

Workplaces and buildings in Stanhope
Stanhope has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like St. Francis are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you look after a building such as Beaver Green Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before we start.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Parking around Stanhope is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- 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
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

What we’re called out for in Stanhope
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
For landlords with property near Ashford International station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee
- When the joint can take water or movement
Why act early in Stanhope
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Around Stanhope, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before any work starts.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
