Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We’re often asked to deal with seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and door frames.
For a small place like Upper Lambourn, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Upper Lambourn, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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. All the old material has to come out first.
Why act early in Upper Lambourn
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. In a small place like Upper Lambourn, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each and we flag any that need another system.
Flats and HMOs
Conversions normally leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and record where they are.
