We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We are often asked to deal with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and door frames.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Wickham, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building.

Fire rated sealant around Wickham
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Wickham. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as Wickham Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For landlords with property near Fareham station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Parking around Wickham is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Around Wickham, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we will flag it.
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size.
Common problems we fix in Wickham
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
For buildings such as Church of St Nicholas, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

FAQs for Wickham
I let a flat near Fareham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you take on hotel work around Wickham?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product, installed to its details.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
