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. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Fire rated sealant in Little Kingshill
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We’re often asked to deal with joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, across door frames, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps.
For a small place like Little Kingshill, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Little Kingshill, 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.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Commercial buildings in Little Kingshill
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of Saints Peter and Paul, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ash Hill Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you let a flat or house near Great Missenden station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

No, assessment isn’t something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
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.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Little Kingshill?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.

- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it’s a home or a business

The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot, so ask us which we used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
