Fire rated sealant in Milford on Sea
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. Typical jobs include fire seals that have cracked with movement and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, across flats & HMOs, service penetrations and linear gaps.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Milford on Sea, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Milford on Sea and across Hampshire.

Milford on Sea: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Lymington Town station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Milford on Sea within the area you cover?
Yes. Milford on Sea is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product, installed to its details.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building from start to finish. For a job in Milford on Sea, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both, following the tested detail.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
Fire rated sealant around Milford on Sea
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Milford on Sea, 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Rented homes near Lymington Town station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Milford-on-Sea Church of England Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What we are called out for in Milford on Sea
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of All Saints, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- The length of the guarantee
- Who turns up on the day
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
What sealant work cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- 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 ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
