Do you work for landlords with property near Lymington Pier station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We work from the specification you give us, and apply each product to its tested details.

Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
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, or ask us to do it.

About our fire rated sealant in Lower Pennington
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, one gap at a time. We work on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and plasterboard & masonry, and common reasons people get in touch are seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Lower Pennington, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Leave it or put it right?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. Around Lower Pennington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
What we are called out for in Lower Pennington
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Managing a site like Priestlands School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
