Why it’s worth doing now in Dunton Green
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Dunton Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Why book with us
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- We never seal over old sealant

- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

About our fire rated sealant in Dunton Green
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are gaps left after a refit or conversion and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
Work in a small place like Dunton Green is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It helps whoever checks the building next.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Landlord and commercial work in Dunton Green
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Letting agents and landlords in Dunton Green can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Dunton Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Fire rated sealant in Dunton Green: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Dunton Green station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as St John's Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Dunton Green Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist.
Dunton Green questions
I let a flat near Dunton Green station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Dunton Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Dunton Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product, installed to its details.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
As a guide, most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot to help seal the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
