Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

Fire rated sealant in Birtley Green, done properly
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. If you have open holes round services passing through fire walls and open joints along the top of partitions, we can help.
For a small place like Birtley Green, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Birtley Green needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out 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.
What we’re called out for in Birtley Green
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Letting a property close to Shalford station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Commercial buildings in Birtley Green
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, 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.
Managing a site like Bramley CofE Aided Infant School and Nursery? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Christ Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
