Leave it or put it right?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Westwell Leacon, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Common problems we fix in Westwell Leacon
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
Schools such as The Hayesbrook School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing

FAQs for Westwell Leacon
I let a flat near Charing station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover Westwell Leacon for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Westwell Leacon is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Westwell Leacon, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- 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.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Workplaces and buildings in Westwell Leacon
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.
Rented homes near Charing station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Charing Methodist Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
