Purbrook Fire Rated Sealant
Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for homes and businesses in Purbrook and across Hampshire. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Purbrook
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We work on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and door frames, and the jobs we see most are door frames with gaps between frame and wall and damaged fire sealant left by other trades.
Washrooms in busy buildings wear their sealant out faster than a bathroom at home, and fire-rated joints need restoring whenever new services are run through a wall. For a building in Purbrook, we plan timings around how it’s used.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start so residents know what to expect.
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.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.

No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control, and apply each product to its tested details.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.

Workplaces and buildings in Purbrook
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Purbrook, 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. 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.
For landlords with property near Bedhampton station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For buildings such as Church of St John, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Common problems we fix in Purbrook
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
If you look after a building such as Purbrook Junior School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
