- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Assessing a building’s fire safety

How we handle fire rated sealant in Golden Cross
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. Typical jobs include unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, across linear gaps, door frames and flats & HMOs.
In a village or hamlet like Golden Cross, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Golden Cross, 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 plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- 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.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Common problems we fix in Golden Cross
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
If you look after a building such as Chiddingly Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What the cure time is
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Which colour the sealant will be
What affects the quote in Golden Cross
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any working-time requirements on site
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The type of property
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Why act early in Golden Cross
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own. In a small place like Golden Cross, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
