When to call us in Willington
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Look out for these signs:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Senacre Wood Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they hold
- Is VAT in the price?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is the old sealant removed completely?

Common questions in Willington
I let a flat near Bearsted station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Willington in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Willington is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product fitted to the maker’s details.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. The sealant has to be one tested in plasterboard for the gap we are sealing.
Linear gaps
A linear joint may need to allow for movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement from the manufacturer’s details.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
