Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before the sealant goes in.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.

Why deal with it now?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Around Cross Lane, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
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, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- We never seal over old sealant

- Whether it has been sealed before

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. For a job in Cross Lane, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Cross Lane
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details. Cross Lane has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
For buildings such as St Paul's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Cross Lane questions
Do you cover Cross Lane for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Cross Lane is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Cross Lane?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we apply a product tested for it.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product fitted to the maker’s details.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
