For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Fire rated sealant in Ickleton, done properly
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are door frames with gaps between frame and wall and gaps left after a refit or conversion.
In a village or hamlet like Ickleton, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Ickleton as everywhere else we work.

Fire rated sealant in Ickleton: local notes
In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as Parish Church of St Mary Magdalen, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you look after a building such as Great Chesterford Church of England Primary Academy, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For landlords with property near Great Chesterford station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Ickleton questions
Do you cover Ickleton for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Ickleton is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near Great Chesterford station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, whether the building is a school, an office, flats or an HMO, and whether it’s in use or not. Let us know the building’s hours and we will plan the work to suit.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Ickleton, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Why deal with it now?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a small place like Ickleton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re 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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What the job involves on each surface
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.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist and we will mention anything we notice.
