Mark Hall South: your questions answered
I let a flat near Harlow Town station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you work in hotels near Mark Hall South?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Do you cover Mark Hall South?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, Mark Hall South included.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Mark Hall South
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. We cut out the wrong material and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We’re often asked to deal with damaged fire sealant left by other trades and gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment, on plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and door frames.
For a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Mark Hall South, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Should I try it myself first?
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Mark Hall South
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The size of the job
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The rough size of the job
We do not publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. A visit to Mark Hall South is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.

- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.

What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. In a smaller place like Mark Hall South, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- We never seal over old sealant
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Arbo and Everbuild products

What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in with backing where the detail needs it.
Flats and HMOs
In occupied buildings, we plan the order of work with you. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance to keep disruption down.
Fire rated sealant around Mark Hall South
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. Harlow, which Mark Hall South is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Like the other new towns, Harlow was planned with its own areas for industry and business, so workplaces sit close to the homes. Their washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints need the same upkeep as anywhere.
Community buildings like St Andrew's Methodist Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Harlow Town station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cooks Spinney Primary Academy and Nursery, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
