Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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 difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Fire rated sealant in Bedgebury Cross, done properly
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. We work on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and damaged fire sealant left by other trades.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Bedgebury Cross, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Workplaces and buildings in Bedgebury Cross
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as Christ Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. In and around Bedgebury Cross, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access from start to finish.

Advice
Questions from Bedgebury Cross
Can you do fire rated sealant in Bedgebury Cross?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Bedgebury Cross is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Is Bedgebury Cross within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment is not something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Bigger jobs take longer.
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.

What affects the quote in Bedgebury Cross
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Roughly how big the job is
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
