Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are old fire sealant that has split or come away and gaps left after a refit or conversion.
Work in a small place like Stockbury is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.

Workplaces and buildings in Stockbury

Why deal with it now?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stockbury can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Common problems we fix in Stockbury
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
Community buildings like St Mary Magdalene Church are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Stockbury, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
How to prepare
- 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
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
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 work begins to keep disruption down.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
