Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Marden Thorn
Will you come out to Marden Thorn?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Marden Thorn in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Marden Thorn is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Generally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. Older cottages and farmhouses around Marden Thorn can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Why us?
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
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.
