Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Why it’s worth doing now in Margaretting Tye
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that doesn’t depend on other work. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Margaretting Tye, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will talk you through it.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Margaretting Tye, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
