Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
About our fire rated sealant in Lordington

We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap, and we can record what went where. We work on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are open holes round services passing through fire walls and old fire sealant that has split or come away.

Fire rated sealant in Lordington: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.
Schools such as Bourne Community College are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you let a flat or house near Southbourne station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Racton Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lordington
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Around Lordington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Lordington: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Lordington?
Yes, Lordington is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Lordington for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Lordington is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, we do not assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used, so you have it on file.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Tell us how the building is used and we will plan around it.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t and we’ll tell you which one you have.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
