DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Fire rated sealant in Chalfont St Giles, done properly
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. We work on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and gaps left after a refit or conversion.
Around a place like Chalfont St Giles, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Buckinghamshire.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both.
What happens if it’s left?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. In a smaller place like Chalfont St Giles, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Chalfont St Giles?
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.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Community buildings like Parish Church of St Giles are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a job in Chalfont St Giles, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints
