Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach, and we will tell you.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
About our fire rated sealant in Temple Valley
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on door frames, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey.
Somewhere as small as Temple Valley, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Questions from Temple Valley
Can you do fire rated sealant in Temple Valley?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Temple Valley is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Winchester station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Tell us how the building is used and we’ll plan around it.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will tell you when we quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
When to call us in Temple Valley
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Holes left by a change of layout
For landlords with property near Winchester station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How it works

The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the size of the job.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
