Fire rated sealant in Wootton, done properly
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on door frames, flats & HMOs and linear gaps, and people most often call us about gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and new service routes left unsealed after building work.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Wootton, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of 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. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.

Workplaces and buildings in Wootton
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For landlords with property near New Milton station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St John, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Wootton: your questions answered
I let a flat near New Milton station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Wootton in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Wootton is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Wootton and the rest of Hampshire, along with the rest of our area.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
As a guide, most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We work from the specification you give us.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details before the trim goes back.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Wootton
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Wootton, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
