Landlords, agents and businesses in Townsend
For anyone letting property in or around Townsend, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Fire rated sealant in Townsend, done properly
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. We work on linear gaps, door frames and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about unsealed gaps around fire door frames and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Townsend, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What the job involves on each 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.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Fire rated sealant around Townsend
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Midgham station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Catherine, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Hurst School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What happens if it’s left?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In a small place like Townsend, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
