What fire rated sealant looks like in Little Posbrook
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Little Posbrook, 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. Little Posbrook has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
Letting a property close to Fareham station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like Church of St Peter are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Fire rated sealant in Little Posbrook, done properly
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. If you have door frames with gaps between frame and wall and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can put it right.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Little Posbrook, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Common problems we fix in Little Posbrook
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stubbington House School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- The rough size of the job
- The address or postcode of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
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.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Little Posbrook needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
