About our fire rated sealant in Paslow Wood Common
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, with each location and product recorded. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. We work on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about gaps left after a refit or conversion and open holes round services passing through fire walls.
In a village or hamlet like Paslow Wood Common, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Questions from Paslow Wood Common
Will you come out to Paslow Wood Common?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Paslow Wood Common for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Paslow Wood Common is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
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.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed.
What does intumescent mean?
An intumescent sealant expands when it gets hot. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In a small place like Paslow Wood Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why Paslow Wood Common customers choose us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- We never seal over old sealant
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Keep pictures of seals that will be hidden
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Leave the sealant to cure fully before painting near it. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot and we will tell you which one you have.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal.

Advice
What affects the quote in Paslow Wood Common
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Paslow Wood Common
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Schools such as Blackmore Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like Church of St Peter and St Paul are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. If you let a flat or house near Ingatestone station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
