Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations

Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance.
What affects the quote in Lane End
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the job is, and your postcode

- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints

What fire rated sealant looks like in Lane End
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Lane End, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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 Michael, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you look after a building such as Kirby Primary Academy, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Rented homes near Kirby Cross station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
