Questions from Wickham Common
Will you come out to Wickham Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Wickham Common?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Can you give us a record of the work?
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.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control and install to the manufacturer’s details.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all, and the choice depends on the gap.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
Fire rated sealant in Wickham Common, done properly
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. Common call-outs are for old fire sealant that has split or come away and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, on door frames, flats & HMOs and service penetrations.
In a village or hamlet like Wickham Common, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.

Fire rated sealant around Wickham Common
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Wickham Common. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Schools such as Wickham Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Nicholas, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What we are called out for in Wickham Common
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open joints along the top of partitions
If you let a flat or house near Fareham station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Why act early in Wickham Common
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wickham Common can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
