Fire-rated sealant in Freemantle, Southampton
We cover Freemantle for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
About our fire rated sealant in Freemantle
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. We work on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Freemantle, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

- The type of property
- How we’d reach the joints
- The address or postcode of the job

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a smaller place like Freemantle, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- 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.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.

A typical job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will confirm how long when we quote.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment room by room.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth over any backing the detail calls for.

Leave it or put it right?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. 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. Homes in smaller places like Freemantle 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.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
