Test Valley Fire Rated Sealant
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Test Valley? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls

Fire rated sealant in Test Valley, done properly
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. If you’re dealing with open gaps behind door architraves and holes left by a change of layout, we can help, on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations alike.
Somewhere as small as Test Valley, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Landlord and commercial work in Test Valley
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Older cottages and farmhouses around Test Valley can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement from the manufacturer’s details.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach, and we’ll tell you.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How much there is to do
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How we’d reach the joints
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details, and pictures are welcome.
Test Valley: your questions answered
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Test Valley?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Test Valley in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Test Valley is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. Somewhere like Test Valley needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about any water getting in
