Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In a small place like Rudley Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Common problems we fix in Rudley Green
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Purleigh Community Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Fire rated sealant in Rudley Green: local notes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Rudley Green, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. 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, 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.
Community buildings like Parish Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
