DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Fire rated sealant in North Leigh
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We work on service penetrations, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps, and people most often call us about fire stopping disturbed by later work and gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs.
Somewhere as small as North Leigh, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in North Leigh and everywhere else we cover.

Other services in North Leigh
Fire rated sealant around North Leigh
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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 Mary's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Schools such as North Leigh Church of England (Controlled) School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you let a flat or house near Combe station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

North Leigh: your questions answered
Is North Leigh in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and North Leigh is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Combe station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Can you match the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like North Leigh needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What the job involves on each surface
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and the locations noted.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
What affects the quote in North Leigh
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Access and height
- The type of sealant required
- Any mould that needs treating
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.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
