Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

About our fire rated sealant in Pebmarsh
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That is the part we focus on. If you are dealing with ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, we can help.
For a small place like Pebmarsh, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

FAQs for Pebmarsh
Do you cover smaller places like Pebmarsh?
Yes, Pebmarsh is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Bures station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent means it swells when heated, helping close the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
Surface by surface
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere like Pebmarsh 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.
- 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.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- 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

Related advice
Commercial buildings in Pebmarsh
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 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 Bures station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like Parish Church of St John the Baptist are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Leave it or put it right?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Pebmarsh, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
