Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Fire rated sealant in Thruxton
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and door frames, and people most often call us about joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and unsealed gaps around fire door frames.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Thruxton, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Thruxton, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Advice
What affects the quote in Thruxton
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of sealant required
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number of rooms or windows
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- A few pictures by email, if you can

How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth over any backing the detail calls for.
Why act early in Thruxton
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we will tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Thruxton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Full insurance on every job
Commercial buildings in Thruxton
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.
Schools such as Amport Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Letting a property close to Grateley station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Questions from Thruxton
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Grateley station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Thruxton?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we will agree it with you first.
What does intumescent mean?
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.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer; we install to those details and record what we did.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.
