Fire-rated sealant in West Wellow, Hampshire
Fire-stopping gaps in West Wellow need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.

- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
How we handle fire rated sealant in West Wellow
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We’re often asked to deal with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near West Wellow, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Don’t 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.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
Do you need fire rated sealant in West Wellow?
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
If you let a flat or house near Romsey station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The rough size of the job
- How we’d reach the joints

Leave it or put it right?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Older cottages and farmhouses around West Wellow can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.

Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
