Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.

Fire rated sealant in Brackenbury Village
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. If you are dealing with gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment and open holes round services passing through fire walls, we can put it right, on door frames, service penetrations and flats & HMOs alike.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together 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. For a job in Brackenbury Village, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
Getting a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Advice
When to call us in Brackenbury Village
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Open gaps behind door architraves
If you let a flat or house near Shepherds Bush station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Questions from Brackenbury Village
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Brackenbury Village?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
I let a flat near Shepherds Bush station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.

Why deal with it now?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in Brackenbury Village.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
