When to call us in Thorley
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Community buildings like St. Swithin's Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Fire rated sealant around Thorley
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Thorley, 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.
Rented homes near Lymington Pier station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We work through the gaps on your assessment, flat by flat if needed.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Thorley
Is Thorley within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Lymington Pier station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we’ll plan around it.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, assessment is not something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we will quote for the sealant work on it.

Landlords and agents in Thorley can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
