How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we’ll tell you.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.
About our fire rated sealant in Welborne
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you are dealing with linear gaps at the head of walls and open holes round services passing through fire walls, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Work in a small place like Welborne is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Welborne as everywhere else we work.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Welborne
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Welborne, 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. Welborne 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.
If you let a flat or house near Fareham station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Managing a site like The Henry Cort Community College? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

The process

For a village or hamlet like Welborne, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
When to call us in Welborne
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Francis, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they hold
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- The length of the guarantee
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Welborne
Will you come out to Welborne?
Yes, Welborne is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Welborne?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame, and we will mention anything we notice about the door.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves; we install to those details and record what we did.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.
Why it’s worth doing now in Welborne
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. 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. In a small place like Welborne, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
