Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Newbridge
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you have fire stopping disturbed by later work and holes left by a change of layout, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Newbridge, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

FAQs for Newbridge
Will you come out to Newbridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is fire rated sealant in Newbridge guaranteed?
All our work, in Newbridge and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. That is for a fire risk assessor, designer or building control. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
What else we do in Newbridge
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Newbridge needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Leave it or put it right?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. In a small place like Newbridge, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Fire rated sealant in Newbridge: local notes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Newbridge, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St. Michael the Archangel, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Newbridge
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
If you look after a building such as Shalfleet Church of England Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
