Fire Rated Sealant in Tidworth
Fire-stopping gaps in Tidworth need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
Fire rated sealant in Tidworth, done properly
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you have gaps left after a refit or conversion and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, we can help, on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and linear gaps alike.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Tidworth, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Fire rated sealant in Tidworth: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Church of the Holy Trinity are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you look after a building such as The Wellington Academy, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Tidworth
Will you come out to Tidworth?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Tidworth?
All our work, in Tidworth and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use, with access planned around residents or staff. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed.
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 tell you what we’re using.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
What affects the quote in Tidworth
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much there is to do
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The rough size of the job
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How we’d reach the joints
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before we start.
Why act early in Tidworth
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. In a smaller place like Tidworth, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tidworth
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
How the visit works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a job in Tidworth, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
