Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Ladwell
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We’re often asked to deal with linear gaps at the head of walls and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, across door frames, linear gaps and flats & HMOs.
For a small place like Ladwell, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Fire rated sealant around Ladwell
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details. Ladwell has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
Schools such as John Keble Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Questions from Ladwell
Is Ladwell within the area you cover?
Yes, Ladwell is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Chandlers Ford station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but will not perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves, and we install to them.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Ladwell?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We work from the specification you give us.
Common problems we fix in Ladwell
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
If you let a flat or house near Chandlers Ford station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Why act early in Ladwell
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Around Ladwell, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.

The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and the area is left clean. In a small place like Ladwell, access is normally 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.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
