DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Fire rated sealant around Mill End
Mill End has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on. 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 let a flat or house near Henley-On-Thames station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Mill End?
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
The most common problems we see are:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
What to look for in a quote
- How much experience the applicator has
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How long the guarantee is
- Which colour the sealant will be
What happens if it’s left?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Around Mill End, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Common questions in Mill End
Do you take on hotel work around Mill End?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you work for landlords with property near Henley-On-Thames station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
What fire rating will the seal have?
That is not something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Mill End.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Mill End needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
