Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Workplaces and buildings in Iwade
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Iwade, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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.
For landlords with property near Kemsley station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For buildings such as Church of All Saints, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Near you in Iwade

Why deal with it now?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Around Iwade, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will talk you through it.

When to call us in Iwade
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Holes left by a change of layout
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Iwade School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Surface by surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
