What happens if it’s left?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. In a small place like Thorns Beach, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Advice
Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Workplaces and buildings in Thorns Beach
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Thorns Beach, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Letting a property close to Lymington Pier station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. In and around Thorns Beach, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Thorns Beach
Do you work for landlords with property near Lymington Pier station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Thorns Beach?
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.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Thorns Beach?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
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.
