Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Elson
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; 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 work on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and holes left by a change of layout.
Around a place like Elson, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. A visit to Elson is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What fire rated sealant looks like in Elson
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Elson, 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, 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.
For landlords with property near Portsmouth Harbour station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like Church of St Thomas are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Schools such as Elson Infant School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Elson
Do you cover Elson for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Elson is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Portsmouth Harbour station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
Why deal with it now?
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 an older home around Elson, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Why us?
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
