About our fire rated sealant in South Weirs
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps, and the jobs we see most are fire stopping disturbed by later work and open holes round services passing through fire walls.
For a small place like South Weirs, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
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 fire rated sealant looks like in South Weirs
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around South Weirs. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Brockenhurst Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Community buildings like Church of St Saviour are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you let a flat or house near Brockenhurst station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start so residents know what to expect.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach, and we’ll tell you.
When it isn’t the sealant
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Why deal with it now?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like South Weirs, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Questions from South Weirs
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in South Weirs?
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.
Is South Weirs within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.

We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We will suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
