How we handle fire rated sealant in Yarbridge
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. If you have damaged fire sealant left by other trades and holes left by a change of layout, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Yarbridge, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What affects the quote in Yarbridge
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
Fire rated sealant around Yarbridge
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Yarbridge, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Letting a property close to Brading station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Community buildings like St. Mary's Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you look after a building such as Brading Church of England Controlled Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.

What happens if it’s left?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Yarbridge, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
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.
Open gaps don’t only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
