What affects the quote in Great Notley
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The amount of work
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any mould that needs treating
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Great Notley
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Community buildings like The Church in Great Notley are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- Who turns up on the day
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- The length of the guarantee
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal

Common questions in Great Notley
Do you take on hotel work around Great Notley?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Is Great Notley within the area you cover?
Yes, Great Notley is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the size of the job. A visit to Great Notley is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any tricky access
How to get a quote
