FAQs for Gosport
Do you take on hotel work around Gosport?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
I let a flat near Portsmouth Harbour station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
About our fire rated sealant in Gosport
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. If you’re dealing with open holes round services passing through fire walls and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, we can help.
Shared washrooms take far more use than a home bathroom, and their sealant shows it, and fire-rated joints need restoring whenever new services are run through a wall. In Gosport, timings are planned around the building.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Gosport and everywhere else we cover.

When something else is needed
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Surface by surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Gosport?
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Open joints along the top of partitions
Schools such as Brockhurst Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Fire rated sealant in Gosport: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Gosport, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Gosport has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
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 St Faith's Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
