About our fire rated sealant in Parkhurst
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over. We work on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are fire seals that have cracked with movement and linear gaps at the head of walls.
In a village or hamlet like Parkhurst, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
For anyone letting property in or around Parkhurst, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
Fire rated sealant around Parkhurst
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Parkhurst. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
In and around Parkhurst, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Schools such as Hunnyhill Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Leave it or put it right?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Parkhurst, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes.

- The number of rooms or windows
