Intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Congelow. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.

Fire rated sealant in Congelow, done properly
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping is not our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you have unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Congelow, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Why act early in Congelow
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, and we work to the product details every time. Around Congelow, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.

Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length leaving no stretch unsealed.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
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.
Can I do it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
