Fire-rated sealant in Lee, Hampshire
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Lee? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Why deal with it now?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lee, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

We work on service penetrations, linear gaps and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed gaps around fire door frames and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on how much there is to do. For a village or hamlet like Lee, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Workplaces and buildings in Lee
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Lee, 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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Church of St Boniface are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Managing a site like Oasis Academy Lord's Hill? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Lee
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open gaps behind door architraves
If you let a flat or house near Romsey station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Questions from Lee
Do you cover smaller places like Lee?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Romsey station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It looks sealed but will not perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
That is not something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it, recording the locations and products.
