How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Broadland Row needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Typical jobs include open holes round services passing through fire walls and gaps left after a refit or conversion, across plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and service penetrations.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Broadland Row?
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Open gaps behind door architraves
For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Mary, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Before you book anyone
- Is VAT in the price?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Can I do it myself?
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. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot and we will tell you which one you have.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
What happens if it’s left?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Older cottages and farmhouses around Broadland Row can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
