DIY versus a professional finish

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Questions from Chilgrove
Do you cover smaller places like Chilgrove?
Yes. Chilgrove is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Chilgrove?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we will plan the work to suit.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Chilgrove?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
What fire rating will the seal have?
That isn’t something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it, recording the locations and products.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Chilgrove needs a little journey planning: 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.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
Why act early in Chilgrove
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chilgrove, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

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.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment, flat by flat if needed.
