How we handle fire rated sealant in Worthy Down
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. If you are dealing with open joints along the top of partitions and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Worthy Down, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Questions from Worthy Down
Do you cover smaller places like Worthy Down?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Winchester station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
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 leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.

What we’re called out for in Worthy Down
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open joints along the top of partitions
Community buildings like St Margaret's are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Commercial buildings in Worthy Down
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Schools such as South Wonston Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Letting a property close to Winchester station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Worthy Down, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail and we’ll flag it.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Worthy Down
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
For anyone letting property in or around Worthy Down, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
Why act early in Worthy Down
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Worthy Down, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
