- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Open joints along the top of partitions
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
Fire rated sealant in Stanmore, done properly
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you have standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and open holes round services passing through fire walls, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around a place like Stanmore, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Questions from Stanmore
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Stanmore?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do you work for landlords with property near Winchester station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all and which one is used depends on the job.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Stanmore?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.

What affects the quote in Stanmore
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The address or postcode of the job
For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the location and a short description of the problem. We’ll send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. In a smaller place like Stanmore, 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.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Fire rated sealant around Stanmore
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Stanmore. 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as Saint Luke, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you look after a building such as Stanmore Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For landlords with property near Winchester station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
