What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Swinbrook, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Swinbrook questions
Is Swinbrook within the area you cover?
Yes. Swinbrook is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Swinbrook?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Swinbrook is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We work from the specification you give us.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam isn’t tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and get them seen to.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
When to call us in Swinbrook
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Look out for any of the following:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
For buildings such as Church of St Mary, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Fire rated sealant around Swinbrook
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, 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.
Letting a property close to Shipton station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Burford School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The rough size of the job
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Leave it or put it right?
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we will tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Swinbrook can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
