How we handle fire rated sealant in Dibden
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We’re often asked to deal with new service routes left unsealed after building work and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, across linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and door frames.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Dibden normally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Fire rated sealant around Dibden
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Dibden, 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, 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.
Managing a site like Applemore College? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you let a flat or house near Southampton Town Quay station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of All Saints, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Parking around Dibden is usually 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.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail and we will flag it.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Dibden
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Southampton Town Quay station?

How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Dibden?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product, installed to its details.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.

Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we will plan the work to suit.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How many areas need sealing
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
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.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The type of property
- How we’d reach the joints
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
When it isn’t the sealant
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
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.
