Do you need fire rated sealant in Wadwick?
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Holes left by a change of layout
If you let a flat or house near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Common questions in Wadwick
I let a flat near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Wadwick?
Yes, Wadwick is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.

When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions normally leave a mix of old and new service holes. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and record where they are.
Workplaces and buildings in Wadwick
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.

What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Wadwick needs a little journey planning: 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.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Related advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Wadwick
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wadwick, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
