When to call us in Totton
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
Managing a site like Abbotswood Junior School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether you can choose the colour
About our fire rated sealant in Totton
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. 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 flagged on a fire risk assessment, across pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations.
Shared washrooms take far more use than a home bathroom, and their sealant shows it, and fire-rated joints need restoring whenever new services are run through a wall. For a building in Totton, we plan timings around how it’s used.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Totton and everywhere else we cover.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Totton
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- When we can work, for business premises
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In Totton, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- 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.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
