If you have unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can help, whatever the surface.
Community buildings, schools and small businesses around places like St Mary's Bay have washrooms and kitchens that see a lot of use. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.

Will you come out to St Mary's Bay?

Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Why act early in St Mary's Bay
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In a smaller place like St Mary's Bay, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start.
Commercial buildings in St Mary's Bay
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like St Mary's Bay, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Marsh Academy, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Community buildings like All Saints are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a job in St Mary's Bay, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
