Fire rated sealant around Hythe
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Hythe, 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. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
Schools such as Waterside Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For landlords with property near Southampton Town Quay station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We are often asked to deal with open holes round services passing through fire walls and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The address or postcode of the job
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
If you are in Hythe and need fire rated sealant, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
Why act early in Hythe
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a family home in Hythe, a failed seal around a bath or a frame lets water into places you cannot see, like the floor under a bath, the back of a panel or the inside of a wall. Left alone, that means rot, damp and a bigger repair.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What you get with us
- We never seal over old sealant
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Tidy, careful work

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.

What we are called out for in Hythe
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Community buildings like Church of St John are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a job in Hythe, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. If the job is outside, mention gates, side access and anything above ground floor.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky
