Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions generally leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and record where they are.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Netley Marsh
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Netley Marsh, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Netley Marsh Church of England Infant School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For landlords with property near Ashurst New Forest station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Netley Marsh
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
For buildings such as Church of St Matthew, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Why it’s worth doing now in Netley Marsh
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Around Netley Marsh, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
