Questions from Buckland Common
Do you work for landlords with property near Wendover station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover Buckland Common for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Buckland Common is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Normally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment is not something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Fire rated sealant in Buckland Common, done properly
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over. If you have unsealed gaps around fire door frames and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Buckland Common, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Construction that doesn’t provide fire resistance on its own

Fire rated sealant around Buckland Common
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.
For buildings such as Church of St Lawrence, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
For fire rated sealant in Buckland Common, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Buckland Common, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

When to call us in Buckland Common
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Rented homes near Wendover station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
