Typical jobs include seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps.

Why act early in Little Ickford
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we will tell you. In a small place like Little Ickford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
Commercial buildings in Little Ickford
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St Nicholas, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Managing a site like Ickford School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Common problems we fix in Little Ickford
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service isn’t always sealed again.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- New service routes left unsealed after building work

Landlord and commercial work in Little Ickford
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
