Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Viables
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in Viables. Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. We are often asked to deal with sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and fire stopping disturbed by later work, on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Viables usually means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.

What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame, and we’ll mention anything we notice about the door.
What does fire rated sealant cost?

Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Fire rated sealant in Viables: local notes
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Basingstoke station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What affects the quote in Viables
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is

- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a smaller place like Viables, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.

Leave it or put it right?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. In a smaller place like Viables, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Viables?
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St John's Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

- What insurance they hold

Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
