If you are dealing with unsealed gaps around fire door frames and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, we can help, whatever the surface.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Botolph Claydon, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.

Should I try it myself 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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Botolph Claydon

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.

What else we do in Botolph Claydon
Botolph Claydon: your questions answered
Is Botolph Claydon within the area you cover?
Yes, Botolph Claydon is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Botolph Claydon for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Botolph Claydon is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Common problems we fix in Botolph Claydon
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
Community buildings like Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Who turns up on the day
- Is VAT in the price?
How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions usually leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
Commercial buildings in Botolph Claydon
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Schools such as East Claydon Church of England School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
What happens if it’s left?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. In a small place like Botolph Claydon, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
