Common problems we fix in Good Easter
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
For buildings such as Church of St Andrew, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

About our fire rated sealant in Good Easter
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through. If you have open holes round services passing through fire walls and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can help, on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps alike.
For a small place like Good Easter, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before work begins.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Questions from Good Easter
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Good Easter?
All our work, in Good Easter and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Good Easter for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Good Easter is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it with a record of each location.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used for your files.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Why act early in Good Easter
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Around Good Easter, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
