Fire rated sealant in West Town
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That’s the part we focus on, gap by gap. Common call-outs are for joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and gaps left after a refit or conversion, across door frames, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near West Town, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in West Town and across Hampshire.

Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any working-time requirements on site
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame

What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start.

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.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we will tell you. In a smaller place like West Town, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions generally leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and record where they are.
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall.
Common problems we fix in West Town
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Schools such as Mengham Infant School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What fire rated sealant looks like in West Town
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like West Town, 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.
Letting a property close to Fratton station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Mary's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
