What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bell's Corner
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Fire rated sealant around Bell's Corner
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St Mary, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Schools such as Stoke-by-Nayland Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Leave it or put it right?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. In a small place like Bell's Corner, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Common questions in Bell's Corner
Is there a guarantee on fire rated sealant in Bell's Corner?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Bell's Corner within the area you cover?
Yes, Bell's Corner 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.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Bell's Corner?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It looks sealed but will not perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service, or ask us to do it.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We work from the specification you give us and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.

Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before the sealant goes in.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on how much there is to do. In a small place like Bell's Corner, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
