DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Fire rated sealant in Coldred, 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’re dealing with fire stopping disturbed by later work and open gaps behind door architraves, we can help.
Work in a small place like Coldred is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that doesn’t depend on other work. In a small place like Coldred, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work

Workplaces and buildings in Coldred
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lydden Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Community buildings like Church of St Pancras are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Rented homes near Shepherds Well station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What the job involves on each surface
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start to keep disruption down.
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size before the trim goes back.
When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Coldred
I let a flat near Shepherds Well station. Can you help?
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 Coldred within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all, and the choice depends on the gap.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product following the tested details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
