Fire rated sealant around Holbury
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Holbury, 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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Cadland Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Fire rated sealant in Holbury
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We are often asked to deal with door frames with gaps between frame and wall and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs.
In a smaller place like Holbury, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a smaller place like Holbury, 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 go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint, so ask us which we used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Holbury and across Hampshire. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
For anyone letting property in or around Holbury, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
Common problems we fix in Holbury
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Open gaps behind door architraves
If you let a flat or house near Netley station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The amount of work
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
