Paulsgrove Fire Rated Sealant
Professional fire rated sealant in and around Paulsgrove, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Fire rated sealant in Paulsgrove, done properly
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over. If you have holes left by a change of layout and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Paulsgrove, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Paulsgrove and everywhere else we cover.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for the gap we’re sealing.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement from the manufacturer’s details.
When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
Commercial buildings in Paulsgrove
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Paulsgrove, 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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Michael and All Angels, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you let a flat or house near Cosham station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
What we are called out for in Paulsgrove
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
If you look after a building such as Beacon View Primary Academy, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Are they insured?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Paulsgrove: your questions answered
Do you cover Paulsgrove for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Paulsgrove is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Cosham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product fitted to the maker’s details.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, we don’t assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
