Fire rated sealant in Totland
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap is not a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We are often asked to deal with gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, on flats & HMOs, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like Totland have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The process
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. A visit to Totland is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- 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 faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.

Do you cover Totland for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Totland is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Totland?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in so it’s there for the next inspection.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before any work starts.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Totland?
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Christ Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Fire rated sealant around Totland
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Totland, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Managing a site like St Saviour's Catholic Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
