Leave it or put it right?
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Around Ley Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

What affects the quote in Ley Hill
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether the work is at height
- How much there is to do
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- A few photos by email, if you can
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Ley Hill, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
When to call us in Ley Hill
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. Rushed fire stopping is common particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
Community buildings like St George's Church are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Ley Hill
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.
Letting a property close to Chalfont & Latimer station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
