Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded.
Fire rated sealant in Eastbury
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over. If you have gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and new service routes left unsealed after building work, we can help, on door frames, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs alike.
Somewhere as small as Eastbury, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Eastbury needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive

Common questions in Eastbury
Is Eastbury in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Eastbury is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is fire rated sealant in Eastbury guaranteed?
All our work, in Eastbury and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product fitted to the maker’s details.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth.
Fire rated sealant around Eastbury
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.
In and around Eastbury, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. In a small place like Eastbury, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

What we are called out for in Eastbury
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
For buildings such as Church of St James, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
