Typical jobs include door frames with gaps between frame and wall and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and flats & HMOs.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Commercial buildings in Upper Ifield
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Upper Ifield, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For landlords with property near Higham station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What we’re called out for in Upper Ifield
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Managing a site like Shorne Church of England Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Upper Ifield, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Older cottages and farmhouses around Upper Ifield can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: 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.
