Fire-rated sealant in East Boldre, Hampshire
We cover East Boldre for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Fire rated sealant in East Boldre, done properly
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We’re often asked to deal with gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, across plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and service penetrations.
Somewhere as small as East Boldre, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Commercial buildings in East Boldre
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like East Boldre, 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St Paul, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Rented homes near Beaulieu Road station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Managing a site like Beaulieu Village Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Questions from East Boldre
Is East Boldre within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do fire rated sealant in East Boldre?
Yes, East Boldre is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in so it’s there for the next inspection.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we will plan around it.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Why it’s worth doing now in East Boldre
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. In a small place like East Boldre, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
Frame gaps are generally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size before the trim goes back.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
