Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a smaller place like Flackwell Heath, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t and we’ll tell you which one you have.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Flackwell Heath
Is Flackwell Heath in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Flackwell Heath is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Flackwell Heath?
Yes. Flackwell Heath is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control and install to the manufacturer’s details.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant, and the choice depends on the gap.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Why it’s worth doing now in Flackwell Heath
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Around Flackwell Heath, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us

What fire rated sealant looks like in Flackwell Heath
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a building such as Juniper Hill School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Letting a property close to Bourne End station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like Christ Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
