We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on linear gaps, door frames and pipe & cable gaps, and the jobs we see most are holes left by a change of layout and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
For a small place like Playden, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Playden
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
Community buildings like The Parish Church of St Michael are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Playden, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Playden questions
Do you work in hotels near Playden?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.

Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The size of the job
- The product the joint needs
