DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

What else we do in Green Street Green
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Green Street Green
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Green Street Green is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a job in Green Street Green, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How many areas need sealing
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The amount of work
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Green Street Green
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Letting a property close to Chelsfield station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St Mary's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Questions from Green Street Green
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Green Street Green?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
I let a flat near Chelsfield station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
