How we handle fire rated sealant in Horton Heath
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you’re dealing with gaps left after a refit or conversion and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like Horton Heath have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

Fire rated sealant around Horton Heath
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Schools such as Fair Oak Infant School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For landlords with property near Hedge End station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
Horton Heath is about 2 miles south-east of Eastleigh, in Hampshire. Jobs in Horton Heath get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, and Horton Heath is one of them.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. Parking around Horton Heath is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

What information do you need?

Where we work in Horton Heath
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
Surface by surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details before the trim goes back.
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
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes.
What we’re called out for in Horton Heath
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Holes left by a change of layout
Community buildings like Church of the Holy Cross are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Are they insured?
- How long the guarantee is
