Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lower Hartlip
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lower Hartlip, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. The order of work and access are planned with you.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.

Workplaces and buildings in Lower Hartlip
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Lower Hartlip, 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Schools such as Hartlip Endowed Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For buildings such as Church of St Michael, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Rented homes near Newington station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
