Fire-rated sealant in Fareham Common, Hampshire
We cover Fareham Common for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Fire rated sealant in Fareham Common
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. We work on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and door frames, and the jobs we see most are unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and linear gaps at the head of walls.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Fareham Common usually 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and the locations noted.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.
Fire rated sealant around Fareham Common
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Fareham Common, 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Letting a property close to Fareham station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wykeham House School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. A visit to Fareham Common 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.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
Leave it or put it right?
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Homes in smaller places like Fareham Common can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why us?
