Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Branstone
Landlords, managing agents and facilities teams use us for the sealant items on a fire risk assessment on buildings across Branstone. Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. We work on door frames, flats & HMOs and linear gaps, and people most often call us about door frames with gaps between frame and wall and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
Somewhere as small as Branstone, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Branstone, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Fire rated sealant in Branstone: local notes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Branstone, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as All Saints' Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you look after a building such as Newchurch Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Branstone?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.

Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That is not something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Why it’s worth doing now in Branstone
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In a small place like Branstone, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Branstone
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Rented homes near Shanklin station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
