Fire rated sealant in Lumley, done properly
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We are often asked to deal with fire stopping disturbed by later work and fire seals that have cracked with movement, on linear gaps, service penetrations and door frames.
For a small place like Lumley, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Lumley
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Schools such as St James Church of England Controlled Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How much experience the applicator has
- How long the guarantee is
- Which colour the sealant will be
Common questions in Lumley
Can you do fire rated sealant in Lumley?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Lumley is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Lumley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Lumley
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Lumley, 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 James are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For landlords with property near Emsworth station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
