Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Hordle?
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a job in Hordle, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Commercial buildings in Hordle
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Hordle, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Managing a site like Hordle CofE (VA) Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Letting a property close to New Milton station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
