How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions generally leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and record where they are.
Fire rated sealant in Gallows Green
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. Typical jobs include unsealed gaps around fire door frames and fire seals that have cracked with movement, across plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and flats & HMOs.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Gallows Green, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Can I do it myself?
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.
If you are 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Gallows Green
Do you cover smaller places like Gallows Green?
Yes, Gallows Green is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Marks Tey station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot, so ask us which we used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Gallows Green
Commercial buildings in Gallows Green
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.
For buildings such as Church of St Margaret and St Catherine, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Rented homes near Marks Tey station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Holy Trinity CofE Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
