Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

FAQs for Bagshot
Do you cover smaller places like Bagshot?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bedwyn station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product, installed to its details.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal

Commercial buildings in Bagshot
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For landlords with property near Bedwyn station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For buildings such as Church of the Good Shepherd, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Advice
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Bagshot
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- Open joints along the top of partitions
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as John O'Gaunt School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Are they insured?
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
What affects the quote in Bagshot
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Access and height
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.
