Fire-rated sealant in Newport, Isle of Wight
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Newport. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
Fire rated sealant in Newport, done properly
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, with a record of the products and locations if you need one. We work on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps left after a refit or conversion and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
Washrooms in busy buildings wear their sealant out faster than a bathroom at home, while fire-rated sealant has to be made good whenever new pipes or cables go through. For a building in Newport, we plan timings around how it’s used.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details before the trim goes back.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Questions from Newport
Is there a guarantee on fire rated sealant in Newport?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Newport in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Newport is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Leave it or put it right?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. Black mould and gaps in sealant do not fix themselves, and in a busy household in Newport they spread with every shower and every downpour. Replacing the sealant now is the simplest fix.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. A visit in Newport needs access to the work and a place to park close by. If the job is outside, mention gates, side access and anything above ground floor.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What else we do in Newport
Workplaces and buildings in Newport
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. Newport has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
In and around Newport, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Schools such as Nine Acres Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Mould in or behind the old joints
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The rough size of the job
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
