How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
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.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded.

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
