Common questions in Maudlin
Will you come out to Maudlin?
Yes. Maudlin is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Chichester station?

Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. The specification and the tested detail decide which is used.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Maudlin
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you’re dealing with unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, we can put it right, on door frames, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry alike.
Work in a small place like Maudlin is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- 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.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is generally a straightforward job.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Maudlin
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The amount of work
- The type of sealant required
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
- The address or postcode of the job
- A few photos by email, if you can
For fire rated sealant in Maudlin, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Maudlin, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about parking restrictions

We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing once someone inspects it. In a small place like Maudlin, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Maudlin
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
For landlords with property near Chichester station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Maudlin
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. Maudlin has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Schools such as The March CofE Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For buildings such as The Parish Church of St Peter, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
