Landlord and commercial work in East Lockinge
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 that we can handle for you.

Fire rated sealant in East Lockinge, done properly
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and open holes round services passing through fire walls.
In a village or hamlet like East Lockinge, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Fire rated sealant in East Lockinge: local notes
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.

What else we do in East Lockinge
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and make sure anything they disturb is resealed with a suitable product. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is normally a straightforward job.
FAQs for East Lockinge
Is East Lockinge within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is East Lockinge in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and East Lockinge is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
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.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in East Lockinge?

What we are called out for in East Lockinge
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of All Saints, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work in East Lockinge
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
