DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
About our fire rated sealant in Sarre
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We’re often asked to deal with gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, across linear gaps, pipe & cable gaps and service penetrations.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Sarre, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Commercial buildings in Sarre
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Sarre, 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of Saint Nicholas, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Schools such as St Nicholas At Wade Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like Sarre, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Surface by surface
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Common problems we fix in Sarre
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
If you let a flat or house near Minster station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- What guarantee comes with the work
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.

Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment is not something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used so it’s there for the next inspection.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
