About our fire rated sealant in Romsey
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Common call-outs are for gaps left after a refit or conversion and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, across linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps.
For anyone managing a school, care home, pub or office in Romsey, the sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and the fire-rated joints around its pipework, all need looking after. Out-of-hours working is possible to arrange.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Romsey and across Hampshire.

Why it’s worth doing now in Romsey
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Gaps in sealant and mould in the bead never get better on their own, and in a busy household in Romsey they spread with every shower and every downpour. Now is the easy time to put it right.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In Romsey, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Fire rated sealant in Romsey: local notes
Romsey has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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.
For landlords with property near Romsey station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For buildings such as St Swithun's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Managing a site like Romsey Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Questions from Romsey
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Romsey station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Romsey?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
