Fire-rated sealant in Millbrook, Southampton
Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Millbrook? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open joints along the top of partitions
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Fire rated sealant in Millbrook
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. Typical jobs include open joints along the top of partitions and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, across flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like Millbrook have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Commercial buildings in Millbrook
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Millbrook, 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Millbrook (Hants) station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of the Holy Trinity, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What we are called out for in Millbrook
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Tanners Brook Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Who turns up on the day
