How we handle fire rated sealant in Cade Street
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We work on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and door frames, and the jobs we see most are seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey.
Somewhere as small as Cade Street, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Cade Street and everywhere else we cover.

What else we do in Cade Street
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.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Cade Street
Is there a guarantee on fire rated sealant in Cade Street?
All our work, in Cade Street and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Cade Street?
Yes, Cade Street is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No, assessment is not something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. For a village or hamlet like Cade Street, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Common problems we fix in Cade Street
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Community buildings like The Parish Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.
