Fire rated sealant around Bramshaw
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.
For buildings such as Church of St Peter, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Bramshaw is about 5 miles west of Totton, in Hampshire. Bramshaw gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Bramshaw
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through. Typical jobs include old fire sealant that has split or come away and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, on door frames, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps.
For a small place like Bramshaw, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Bramshaw
When to call us in Bramshaw
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 particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Around Bramshaw, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Bramshaw, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- When we can work, for business premises
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

What fire rating will the seal have?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
