Fire-rated sealant in Totford, Hampshire
Fire-stopping gaps in Totford need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t and we’ll tell you which one you have.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
About our fire rated sealant in Totford
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. We work on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are holes left by a change of layout and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment.
Somewhere as small as Totford, 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.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. 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. In a small place like Totford, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

Why act early in Totford
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. 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. In a small place like Totford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant

- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

What we’re called out for in Totford
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St John the Evangelist, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
