What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In Earley, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- 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.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
When to call us in Earley
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
If you look after a building such as Radstock Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in.
Workplaces and buildings in Earley
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Earley station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For buildings such as Trinity Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Why it’s worth doing now in Earley
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Draughts from a gap round a frame, damp under a sill or water behind a bath panel all start small, and early is when they’re cheapest and quickest to sort.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before any work starts.

What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Earley?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.

Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
