DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Fire rated sealant in Stone, done properly
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That’s the part we focus on. We work on plasterboard & masonry, door frames and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps left after a refit or conversion and linear gaps at the head of walls.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Stone, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What else we do in Stone
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it 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 as small as Stone, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
Leave it or put it right?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. In a small place like Stone, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.

Letting agents and landlords in Stone can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.

Questions from Stone
Can you do fire rated sealant in Stone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Stone is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Stone?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
That is not something we state or certify. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in so it’s there for the next inspection.
Commercial buildings in Stone
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 Stone Church of England Combined School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For landlords with property near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For buildings such as Church of St John the Baptist, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
