- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. 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, then guaranteed for a year.
About our fire rated sealant in Ledborough
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. Common call-outs are for ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and door frames.
Work in a small place like Ledborough is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ledborough as everywhere else we work.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ledborough
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that doesn’t depend on other work. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ledborough can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before work begins.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Ledborough
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Ledborough. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Managing a site like St Mary and All Saints CofE Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Ledborough?
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
If you let a flat or house near Beaconsfield station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is VAT in the price?

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Ledborough needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- 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.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare

Advice
Ledborough questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Beaconsfield station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Ledborough?
Yes, Ledborough is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in, so you have it on file.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
