Common questions in The Hummicks
Do you work in hotels near The Hummicks?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you work for landlords with property near Beaulieu Road station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer, and we install to them.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in The Hummicks?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in The Hummicks
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. If you’re dealing with door frames with gaps between frame and wall and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can help, on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and service penetrations alike.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near The Hummicks, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Fire rated sealant in The Hummicks: local notes
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like The Hummicks, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. The Hummicks has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
For buildings such as Church of the Blessed Virgin and Child, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Rented homes near Beaulieu Road station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in The Hummicks
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Beaulieu Village Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Why it’s worth doing now in The Hummicks
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Older cottages and farmhouses around The Hummicks can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

What affects the quote in The Hummicks
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the property is
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as The Hummicks, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in with backing where the detail needs it.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details before the trim goes back.
