Questions from Alderholt
Will you come out to Alderholt?
Yes. Alderholt is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Alderholt for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Alderholt is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. We apply fire-rated sealant to the requirements they set.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Why it’s worth doing now in Alderholt
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Around Alderholt, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What we’re called out for in Alderholt
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.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Managing a site like St James' Church of England First School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How much experience the applicator has
- Is VAT in the price?

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some can’t.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes.
What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. A visit to Alderholt is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Alderholt
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St James, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
