What happens if it’s left?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lake End can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Lake End
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. We work on service penetrations, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps, and people most often call us about gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap.
For a small place like Lake End, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Lake End
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.
For buildings such as Church of St James, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Managing a site like Cippenham Infant School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For landlords with property near Burnham station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we will ask.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and giving you a record of where it went.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Lake End, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement, following the tested detail.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
