Fire rated sealant in Hamble-le-Rice
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are holes left by a change of layout and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant.
Around a place like Hamble-le-Rice, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and the area is left clean. For a job in Hamble-le-Rice, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- 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 files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Workplaces and buildings in Hamble-le-Rice
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Hamble-le-Rice, 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hamble Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Andrew, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Hamble-le-Rice
Do you cover smaller places like Hamble-le-Rice?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Hamble station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The type of sealant required
- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. Homes in smaller places like Hamble-le-Rice 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.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Hamble-le-Rice
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Letting a property close to Hamble station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
