About our fire rated sealant in Farlington
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you have unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and fire seals that have cracked with movement, we can help, whatever the surface.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Farlington, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Portsmouth.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. A visit to Farlington 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.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Why deal with it now?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In an older home around Farlington, 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 generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall.
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.
Workplaces and buildings in Farlington
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Farlington, 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.
Community buildings like Church of St Andrew are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you look after a building such as Solent Infant School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Letting a property close to Cosham station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
