How we handle fire rated sealant in Beaulieu
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. 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. We work on plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and door frames, and the jobs we see most are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and damaged fire sealant left by other trades.
Work in a small place like Beaulieu is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

When to call us in Beaulieu
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Holes left by a change of layout
Community buildings like Church of the Blessed Virgin and Child are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What the cure time is
- Who turns up on the day
- Which colour the sealant will be
Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.

Fire rated sealant around Beaulieu
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Beaulieu, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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, 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 Beaulieu Road station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Schools such as Beaulieu Village Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

How the job changes by surface
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 tell you.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. In a small place like Beaulieu, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
