Questions from Farleigh Green
I let a flat near East Farleigh station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover Farleigh Green for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Farleigh Green is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot to help seal the gap. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Fire rated sealant in Farleigh Green
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk does not make it fire-rated. We cut out the wrong material and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. We work on service penetrations, linear gaps and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
For a small place like Farleigh Green, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

When to call us in Farleigh Green
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Holes left by a change of layout
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as All Saints Church, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Farleigh Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

How we quote for fire rated sealant
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- The size of the job
- The type of sealant required
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether the work is at height
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work and give you a clear price.
Different surfaces, different methods
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. The gap is cleaned and backed where required before applying the sealant.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
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.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
