DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Common questions in Bloodden
Is Bloodden within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Bloodden?
Yes, Bloodden is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, we don’t assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product fitted to the maker’s details.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we’ll plan the work to suit.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Fire rated sealant around Bloodden
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as Church of the Holy Innocents, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Letting a property close to Adisham station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Managing a site like Adisham Church of England Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Brick, block and concrete walls and floors are sealed with products tested in masonry. The gap is cleaned of dust first.
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Why deal with it now?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bloodden, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
