Do you provide details of the products used?

What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere like Ballards Gore needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Fire rated sealant around Ballards Gore
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as King Edmund School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Why act early in Ballards Gore
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ballards Gore, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
If you let a flat or house near Rochford station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
