About our fire rated sealant in Upper Froyle
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and door frames, and people most often call us about joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and fire seals that have cracked with movement.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Upper Froyle, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Questions from Upper Froyle
Do you work for landlords with property near Bentley (Hampshire) station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Upper Froyle?
Yes, Upper Froyle is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. Our work is the gap around the frame.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all and which one is used depends on the job.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Upper Froyle
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- A few photos by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the job is, and your postcode
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
Workplaces and buildings in Upper Froyle
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary of the Assumption, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as Eggar's School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you let a flat or house near Bentley (Hampshire) station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What else we do in Upper Froyle
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Upper Froyle, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
