How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist and we will mention anything we notice.
About our fire rated sealant in Little Woodcote
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. We work on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers.
In London, a commercial job often starts with access: loading bays, building rules and lifts. Timings and access are agreed with the building before work starts in Little Woodcote.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Little Woodcote
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Woodmansterne station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is parking a problem for a job in Little Woodcote?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed and we can apply it for you.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all and which one is used depends on the job.

What we’re called out for in Little Woodcote
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it isn’t installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried particularly when it was the last job before handover.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Managing a site like Woodmansterne Primary School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- What product goes in the joint
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether you can choose the colour
Why act early in Little Woodcote
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in Little Woodcote.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Workplaces and buildings in Little Woodcote
Commercial buildings in London often have strict access rules and limited loading, and out-of-hours working is possible to arrange. 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For buildings such as St. Patrick's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Rented homes near Woodmansterne station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Should I try it myself first?
If you are 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
