Why act early in Chavey Down
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chavey Down, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Fire rated sealant in Chavey Down, done properly
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you have ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, we can help.
Work in a small place like Chavey Down is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the list grows.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified.
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We work along the whole run so there are no open sections left.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Chavey Down, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Commercial buildings in Chavey Down
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Rented homes near Martins Heron station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like St Martin's Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
