Fire rated sealant in Emsworth
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That’s the part we focus on, gap by gap. We’re often asked to deal with gaps left after a refit or conversion and fire seals that have cracked with movement, across service penetrations, door frames and flats & HMOs.
Around a place like Emsworth, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps

- Flats & HMOs
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. 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.
Commercial buildings in Emsworth
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Emsworth, 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St James, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you let a flat or house near Emsworth station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement from the manufacturer’s details.
What we’re called out for in Emsworth
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Managing a site like St James Church of England Controlled Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What else we do in Emsworth
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. A visit to Emsworth is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
