Why deal with it now?
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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Little Holbury, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Why book with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- We never seal over old sealant
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

How we handle fire rated sealant in Little Holbury
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you’re dealing with gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, we can help, on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps alike.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Little Holbury, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Little Holbury, 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.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

What we are called out for in Little Holbury
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Schools such as Manor Church of England Infant School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Before booking anyone
- What insurance they hold
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Fire rated sealant in Little Holbury: local notes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Little Holbury, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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, 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.
Rented homes near Netley station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Can you work in occupied buildings?

Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist and we will mention anything we notice.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
