About fire rated sealant in Southampton
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. We work on service penetrations, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps, and the jobs we see most are gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list.
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.

Fire rated sealant across Southampton: local notes
In Southampton, fire rated sealant work takes in washrooms, kitchens, shared areas and service openings, from Shirley, Regents Park and Townhill Park to the quieter places in between. Work can be planned room by room, and out of hours where needed.
London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates. The right sealant depends on the age and materials of the building. Coastal guest houses and holiday lets in Southampton can see heavy use in busy months, which is hard on sealant and grout, and the weather is hard on the outside too.
Southampton: Letting a property close to St Denys station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Saint Mary's, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What affects the quote in Southampton
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- How we’d reach the joints
- A few photos by email, if you can
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
For fire rated sealant in Southampton, call 0345 464 0079 or email us. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Which colour the sealant will be
Southampton: your questions answered
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. That’s for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
