Fire rated sealant in Westley
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That is the part we focus on, one gap at a time. Typical jobs include door frames with gaps between frame and wall and new service routes left unsealed after building work, on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
Somewhere as small as Westley, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Westley and across Hampshire.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Westley needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

When to call us in Westley
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
Community buildings like Church of St Stephen are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Workplaces and buildings in Westley
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sparsholt Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you let a flat or house near Winchester station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Westley: your questions answered
Is Westley in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Westley is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Winchester station. Can you help?

Where do you work from?

How long does fire rated sealant take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. If you need pictures or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The address or postcode of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Roughly how big the job is
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
