Common questions in Arkley
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Arkley?
Parking in Arkley, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
I let a flat near Elstree & Borehamwood station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Do you come to Arkley?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, Arkley included.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Let us know the building’s hours and we will plan the work to suit.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Fire rated sealant in Arkley
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in Arkley. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. Common call-outs are for old fire sealant that has split or come away and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and door frames.
London blocks of flats carry pipes and cables through walls and floors in their common parts and service risers. For managing agents and building owners in Arkley, that can mean fire-rated sealant around service openings as well as resealing in shared washrooms and kitchens.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance to keep disruption down.
Door frames
Frame gaps are usually hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Workplaces and buildings in Arkley
Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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 building such as Whitings Hill Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For buildings such as St Peter's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Rented homes near Elstree & Borehamwood station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in Arkley.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
