How we handle fire rated sealant in Steep Marsh
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you are dealing with gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Steep Marsh, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Steep Marsh and across Hampshire.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Steep Marsh
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
If you let a flat or house near Petersfield station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- How the colour is chosen
- How long the guarantee is
- How much experience the applicator has
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we will tell you.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Why act early in Steep Marsh
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Around Steep Marsh, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Fire rated sealant around Steep Marsh
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a building such as Steep Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
