What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Lilyvale, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
Commercial buildings in Lilyvale
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.
Managing a site like Smeeth Community Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

When to call us in Lilyvale
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
Letting a property close to Westenhanger station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Lilyvale
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Westenhanger station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Lilyvale within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
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’ll tell you what we’re using.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Leave it or put it right?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lilyvale, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before applying the sealant.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
