Fire rated sealant in Cookley Green, done properly
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you have gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, we can help, on pipe & cable gaps, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry alike.
Somewhere as small as Cookley Green, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Cookley Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Cookley Green
Door frames are a common weak spot. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
For buildings such as Church of St Botolph, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Commercial buildings in Cookley Green
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.

Can I do it myself?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What affects the quote in Cookley Green
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
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, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cookley Green
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
FAQs for Cookley Green
Is fire rated sealant in Cookley Green guaranteed?
All our work, in Cookley Green and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Cookley Green for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Cookley Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control, and apply each product to its tested details.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself.
What fire rating will the seal have?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and list the locations and products for you.
Why it’s worth doing now in Cookley Green
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 Cookley Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
