How we handle fire rated sealant in Adgestone
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. Common call-outs are for damaged fire sealant left by other trades and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and door frames.
Work in a small place like Adgestone is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What we are called out for in Adgestone
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
Managing a site like Brading Church of England Controlled Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What to look for in a quote
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How hidden problems are handled
- What insurance they hold
- Whether VAT is included
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on how much there is to do. For a village or hamlet like Adgestone, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Older cottages and farmhouses around Adgestone can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
Why book with us
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Tidy, careful work
- Full insurance on every job

Fire rated sealant around Adgestone
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Adgestone, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Letting a property close to Sandown station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Community buildings like Church of St. John the Evangelist are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Common questions in Adgestone
I let a flat near Sandown station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you take on hotel work around Adgestone?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use fitted to the maker’s details.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist, and we will say if we spot a problem with them.
Flats and HMOs
