Why deal with it now?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hale Street can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Fire rated sealant in Hale Street
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on flats & HMOs, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are open gaps behind door architraves and damaged fire sealant left by other trades.
Work in a small place like Hale Street 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 isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Different surfaces, different methods
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.
When to call us in Hale Street
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
For buildings such as Church of the Holy Trinity, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.

Workplaces and buildings in Hale Street
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.
If you look after a building such as East Peckham Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For landlords with property near Yalding station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Hale Street, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
