Related advice
Fire rated sealant in Brighstone, done properly
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. If you have damaged fire sealant left by other trades and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, we can help, on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and door frames alike.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Brighstone, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.

Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Brighstone
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- What’s wrong with the joints now
If you are in Brighstone and need fire rated sealant, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and you’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for the gap we’re sealing.
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details before the trim goes back.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Brighstone
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Brighstone, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.

Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
For buildings such as St. Mary's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Why it’s worth doing now in Brighstone
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. In a small place like Brighstone, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
