Common questions in Clifton
Do you work for landlords with property near Kings Sutton station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you take on hotel work around Clifton?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Are you insured?

Do you cover Clifton?
Yes. We work in Clifton, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot, helping close the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Clifton
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried particularly when it was the last job before handover.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
Rented homes near Kings Sutton station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The address or postcode of the job
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Clifton, access is generally 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.
- 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.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear the area around the work
How to get a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.

What else we do in Clifton
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job that does not depend on other work. In a small place like Clifton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What you get with us
- Fully insured
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Homes, businesses and hotels

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
