Fire rated sealant in Waterlooville, done properly
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and gaps left after a refit or conversion.
Commercial jobs in a town like Waterlooville range from shops and offices to schools and small business units. All of them have washroom and kitchen joints, and many have fire-rated joints around pipes and cables.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

Questions from Waterlooville
Is fire rated sealant in Waterlooville guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Waterlooville in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Waterlooville is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all, and the choice depends on the gap.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Commercial buildings in Waterlooville
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Waterlooville, 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Community buildings like Saint George's are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Bedhampton station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
Waterlooville is about 6 miles north of Portsmouth, in Hampshire. Wherever you are in the PO7 postcode area, we cover fire rated sealant for homes and businesses. Our area takes in 683 places across Hampshire, large and small. There’s also a page for Portsmouth, about 6 miles away.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
What affects the quote in Waterlooville
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
When to call us in Waterlooville
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
Schools such as Hart Plain Junior School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What product goes in the joint
Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before applying the sealant.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Parking in a town like Waterlooville is normally straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
