What we’re called out for in Cow Roast
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
Managing a site like Tring School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

About our fire rated sealant in Cow Roast
We do not assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you have unsealed gaps around fire door frames and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, we can help.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Cow Roast, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What affects the quote in Cow Roast
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before we start.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The address or postcode of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
FAQs for Cow Roast
Can you do fire rated sealant in Cow Roast?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Cow Roast is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Cow Roast?
Yes. Cow Roast is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use, installed to its details.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Cow Roast, 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.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
