- Holes left by a change of layout

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Riseden 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 begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place

Joints and surfaces we work on
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
Common problems we fix in Riseden
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. Rushed fire stopping is common.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Open joints along the top of partitions
Community buildings like Christ Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Questions from Riseden
Do you cover smaller places like Riseden?
Yes. Riseden is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is fire rated sealant in Riseden guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it, recording the locations and products.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified, flat by flat if needed.
Why deal with it now?
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we will tell you. Around Riseden, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
