Fire Rated Sealant in Lee-on-the-Solent
Fire-stopping gaps in Lee-on-the-Solent need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Fire rated sealant in Lee-on-the-Solent, done properly
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over. Common call-outs are for ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, across plasterboard & masonry, door frames and service penetrations.
In a smaller place like Lee-on-the-Solent, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Lee-on-the-Solent questions
Can you do fire rated sealant in Lee-on-the-Solent?
Yes, Lee-on-the-Solent is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Fareham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 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.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all, and the choice depends on the gap.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will explain which colours are available.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Leave it or put it right?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Around Lee-on-the-Solent, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Parking around Lee-on-the-Solent is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- 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.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move anything stored near the joints

Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.

Fire rated sealant in Lee-on-the-Solent: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Lee-on-the-Solent, 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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as Lee-On-the-Solent Infant and Nursery School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Faith, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you let a flat or house near Fareham station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
