Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

Leave it or put it right?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Older cottages and farmhouses around Eddington can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
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.

Questions from Eddington
I let a flat near Hungerford station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Eddington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Eddington?
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Managing a site like Hungerford Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether VAT is included
- Are they insured?
Different surfaces, different methods
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in with backing where the detail needs it.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start to keep disruption down.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Eddington
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.
Landlords and agents in Eddington can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.

When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Workplaces and buildings in Eddington
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Eddington. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Letting a property close to Hungerford station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Hungerford Methodist Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
