DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details so the architrave can be refitted.
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We work through the gaps on your assessment room by room.

Fire rated sealant in Kelvedon Hatch: local notes
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.
For buildings such as New Church of St Nicholas, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For landlords with property near Shenfield station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a building such as Kelvedon Hatch Community Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building in most cases. In a small place like Kelvedon Hatch, 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.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole and the job gets bigger.
What affects the quote in Kelvedon Hatch
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The size of the job
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Roughly how big the job is
- The address or postcode of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Why act early in Kelvedon Hatch
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. Around Kelvedon Hatch, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why book with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Fully insured
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
