Fire rated sealant in Chilton, 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 damaged fire sealant left by other trades and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Chilton, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Chilton, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Why deal with it now?
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 Chilton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Surface by surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service against the product’s tested range.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes are not treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.

Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Any mould that needs treating

FAQs for Chilton
Do you work for landlords with property near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Chilton within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Common problems we fix in Chilton
Gaps also open up as buildings move: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
Community buildings like Parish Church of St Mary are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
