Why act early in Yalding
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the work involved is often modest. Around Yalding, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

Common questions in Yalding
Do you cover smaller places like Yalding?
Yes. Yalding is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Yalding?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Yalding is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service and we can apply it for you.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine. Out-of-hours work can be arranged if that suits the building.
Common problems we fix in Yalding
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Rented homes near Yalding station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first.
Service penetrations
Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. The sealant is chosen for what passes through and how wide the gap is.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Yalding, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
