DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
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.
Fire rated sealant in Chapmore End
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor on buildings across Chapmore End. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. We work on linear gaps, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about open gaps behind door architraves and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Chapmore End, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Chapmore End, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Looking after it afterwards
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
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint and we will tell you which one you have.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes.

When to call us in Chapmore End
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Tonwell St Mary's Church of England Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Before booking anyone
- What preparation is included
- How hidden problems are handled
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which colour the sealant will be
How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions normally leave a mix of old and new service holes. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and record where they are.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
