Questions from Nether Winchendon
Do you work for landlords with property near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Nether Winchendon within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. We follow the requirements from your assessor, designer or building control, and apply each product to its tested details.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
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.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Fire rated sealant in Nether Winchendon, done properly
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you are dealing with open holes round services passing through fire walls and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, we can help, whatever the surface.

What affects the quote in Nether Winchendon
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether the work is at height
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The rough size of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Photos by email, if that is easy
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
When to call us in Nether Winchendon
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The gap between the frame and the wall is hidden behind the architrave, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
Rented homes near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How hidden problems are handled
- Which colour the sealant will be

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
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 normally a straightforward job.
When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
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.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Nether Winchendon, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
