What fire rated sealant looks like in Purbrook Heath
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Purbrook Heath, 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Purbrook Junior School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For buildings such as Church of St John, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Fire rated sealant in Purbrook Heath, done properly
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 is the part we focus on, gap by gap. Typical jobs include gaps left after a refit or conversion and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and plasterboard & masonry.
Somewhere as small as Purbrook Heath, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.

What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

- Linear gaps

- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs

- Plasterboard & masonry
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
Common problems we fix in Purbrook Heath
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Holes left by a change of layout
Rented homes near Cosham station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Purbrook Heath: your questions answered
Is Purbrook Heath in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Purbrook Heath is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Purbrook Heath?

Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Tell us how the building is used and we will plan around it.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
