When to call us in Goldhanger
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Open gaps behind door architraves
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What preparation is included
Fire rated sealant in Goldhanger
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. Common call-outs are for unsealed gaps around fire door frames and gaps left after a refit or conversion, across service penetrations, flats & HMOs and pipe & cable gaps.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Goldhanger, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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, then guaranteed for a year.
Goldhanger: your questions answered
Will you come out to Goldhanger?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is there a guarantee on fire rated sealant in Goldhanger?
All our work, in Goldhanger and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
How much does fire rated sealant cost in Goldhanger?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What affects the quote in Goldhanger
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear quote.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Fire rated sealant around Goldhanger
If you run a hotel, guest house or holiday let in a coastal place like Goldhanger, heavy use in the busy months is hard on washroom and kitchen sealant, and any building work there should leave fire-rated joints made good. 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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
In and around Goldhanger, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Goldhanger, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any tricky access
