When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

About our fire rated sealant in Stone Cross
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you have open joints along the top of partitions and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, we can help, whatever the surface.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Stone Cross, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Why act early in Stone Cross
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest does not make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Stone Cross, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Full insurance on every job
- More than 20 years in sealant work

Common problems we fix in Stone Cross
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
Letting a property close to Ham Street station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How long the guarantee is

Fire rated sealant in Stone Cross: local notes
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Around Stone Cross, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Stone Cross, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stone Cross
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
For anyone letting property in or around Stone Cross, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
How the job changes by surface
Service penetrations
