For landlords and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Durlock, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
What affects the quote in Durlock
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Mould in or behind the old joints
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The type of property
- Roughly how big the job is

Workplaces and buildings in Durlock
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Sandwich station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Schools such as Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work in Durlock
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
Why deal with it now?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Durlock, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Durlock
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
For buildings such as Church of St Nicholas, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building.

- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Getting ready for the visit
