Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. We’re often asked to deal with unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, on plasterboard & masonry, flats & HMOs and linear gaps.
For a small place like Poffley End, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
FAQs for Poffley End
Is Poffley End within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you take on hotel work around Poffley End?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Poffley End?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
When to call us in Poffley End
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
For buildings such as Church of St John the Evangelist, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
