How we handle fire rated sealant in Barton on Sea
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you have open holes round services passing through fire walls and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, we can put it right.
For a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Barton on Sea, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Barton on Sea can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.

Why it’s worth doing now in Barton on Sea
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Around Barton on Sea, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
When to call us in Barton on Sea
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Schools such as New Milton Infant School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- The length of the guarantee
What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a smaller place like Barton on Sea, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- 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
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.
