DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Fire rated sealant in Four Elms, done properly
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate. We work on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
Work in a small place like Four Elms is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety

Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail and we will flag it.
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Fire rated sealant in Four Elms: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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 Four Elms Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you let a flat or house near Edenbridge station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like Congregational Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
