Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
About our fire rated sealant in Tinkers Cross
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. Typical jobs include seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and door frames.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Tinkers Cross, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Tinkers Cross, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

When to call us in Tinkers Cross
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.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Schools such as Fordingbridge Junior School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Before you book anyone
- What insurance they hold
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the colour is chosen
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Landlord and commercial work in Tinkers Cross

We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Tinkers Cross and across Hampshire. Several sites can be quoted together.
What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Tinkers Cross, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Tinkers Cross: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee on fire rated sealant in Tinkers Cross?
All our work, in Tinkers Cross and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Tinkers Cross within the area you cover?
Yes. Tinkers Cross is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
