DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the size of the job. Inside a flat in Crossmyloof, the job is planned with you; outside, shared parts may need the factor or other owners involved. It helps to know which it is when you get in touch.
- 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.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Crossmyloof: your questions answered
Are the rules for fire-rated sealant different in Scotland?
Building work in Scotland comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations and their technical handbooks. Whatever the rules, fire-rated sealant has to be installed to the manufacturer’s tested details, and that is how we fit it. We do not certify buildings or do fire risk assessments; your assessor or building control can tell you what’s required.
Do you work in hotels near Crossmyloof?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Crossmyloof?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you come to Crossmyloof?
Yes, we do. Crossmyloof is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
When to call us in Crossmyloof
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
If you look after a building such as Shawlands Academy, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How much experience the applicator has
- What product goes in the joint
