We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. Common call-outs are for cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and fire stopping disturbed by later work, on door frames, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry.

We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together.
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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement.
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
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. Everything old must be removed first.
FAQs for Osea Island
Can you do fire rated sealant in Osea Island?

Is fire rated sealant in Osea Island guaranteed?
All our work, in Osea Island and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Larger jobs naturally take longer.

The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.

Are you fully insured?

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
What happens if it’s left?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Older cottages and farmhouses around Osea Island can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access in most cases. Somewhere as small as Osea Island, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved

What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The type of property
- Where the property is
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Osea Island
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Osea Island, 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. 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.
In and around Osea Island, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. For jobs in and around Osea Island, choosing the right material for each joint is as important as a tidy finish.
