What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length.
Fire rated sealant in Steep, done properly
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. If you have linear gaps at the head of walls and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, we can put it right, on door frames, service penetrations and linear gaps alike.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Steep, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
- How easy the joints are to reach
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Why deal with it now?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Around Steep, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Landlord and commercial work in Steep
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Steep and across Hampshire. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Steep?
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.
The most common problems we see are:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of All Saints, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
