Common questions in Bardfield Saling
Can you do fire rated sealant in Bardfield Saling?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Bardfield Saling is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Bardfield Saling within the area you cover?
Yes, Bardfield Saling is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We work from the specification you give us.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed and we can apply it for you.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
About our fire rated sealant in Bardfield Saling
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you’re dealing with fire seals that have cracked with movement and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, we can put it right, on linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and door frames alike.
Somewhere as small as Bardfield Saling, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions usually leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and the locations noted.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
When to call us in Bardfield Saling
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Holes left by a change of layout
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
