When to call us in Walton-on-the-Naze
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.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Schools such as Walton on the Naze Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
Before you book anyone
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Which colour the sealant will be

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.

Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We work in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other commercial buildings, including occupied ones. We agree access and the order of work with you first.

What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point against the product’s tested range.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
