When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Fire rated sealant around Heads Hill
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St Peter, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For landlords with property near Thatcham station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Schools such as Cheam School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product 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.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Heads Hill, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Landlord and commercial work in Heads Hill
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for the gap we’re sealing.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size before the trim goes back.
Why deal with it now?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. In a small place like Heads Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
