Surface by surface
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Hundred Acres?
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
For buildings such as Church of St Nicholas, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Hundred Acres needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- 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.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Hundred Acres questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Fareham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you work in hotels near Hundred Acres?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We work from the specification you give us and install to the manufacturer’s details.
