Leave it or put it right?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. When the nearest tradesperson is a drive away, it’s tempting to leave a small leak, but water behind a failed seal does the most damage when nobody’s watching.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail, and we’ll tell you.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in with backing where the detail needs it.
