Why act early in Dibden Purlieu
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. Around Dibden Purlieu, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Dibden Purlieu
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. Typical jobs include linear gaps at the head of walls and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, across flats & HMOs, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like Dibden Purlieu have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves; we install to those details and record what we did.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Workplaces and buildings in Dibden Purlieu
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Dibden Purlieu, 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Southampton Town Quay station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St. Andrew's Church and Centre, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wildground Infant School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement, following the tested detail.
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Letting agents and landlords in Dibden Purlieu can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
