Workplaces and buildings in West Meon
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.
In and around West Meon, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
Questions from West Meon
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in West Meon?
All our work, in West Meon and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is West Meon within the area you cover?
Yes, West Meon is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like West Meon, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in West Meon
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach, and we’ll tell you.
Door frames
Frame gaps are generally hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
When to call us in West Meon
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St John the Evangelist, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What else we do in West Meon
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
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.
