Fire rated sealant in Nettlecombe
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you have fire stopping disturbed by later work and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can put it right, on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry alike.
For a small place like Nettlecombe, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Nettlecombe needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.

Fire rated sealant around Nettlecombe
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Nettlecombe, 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.
Community buildings like Water Hydrant Opposite Parish Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Rented homes near Shanklin station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement, following the tested detail.

Why it’s worth doing now in Nettlecombe
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Older cottages and farmhouses around Nettlecombe can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
