Bursledon Fire Rated Sealant
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Bursledon. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a one-year guarantee.
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Holes left by a change of layout
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Parking around Bursledon is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Fire rated sealant in Bursledon, done properly
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. Common call-outs are for gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and fire stopping disturbed by later work, on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs.
Around a place like Bursledon, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

FAQs for Bursledon
Will you come out to Bursledon?
Yes, Bursledon is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Bursledon station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all and which one is used depends on the job.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
Landlord and commercial work in Bursledon
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
When to call us in Bursledon
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Community buildings like St Paul’s Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Before you book anyone
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Are they insured?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
Fire rated sealant around Bursledon
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Bursledon, 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. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Letting a property close to Bursledon station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bursledon Church of England Infant School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bursledon
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Homes in smaller places like Bursledon can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
