About our fire rated sealant in Sheepdrove
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor for buildings in Sheepdrove. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. Common call-outs are for gaps left after a refit or conversion and fire stopping disturbed by later work, across door frames, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Sheepdrove, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Why it’s worth doing now in Sheepdrove
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Sheepdrove, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

How the job changes by surface
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 record where they are.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. Expect the work to take 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. For a village or hamlet like Sheepdrove, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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 for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
Advice
What affects the quote in Sheepdrove
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether the work is at height
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Roughly how big the job is
If you are in Sheepdrove and need fire rated sealant, call 0345 464 0079 or email us. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
Leave a fire-stopping gap open and smoke can move through the building much more easily. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What fire rated sealant looks like in Sheepdrove
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.
For buildings such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. In and around Sheepdrove, as anywhere, good fire rated sealant starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Questions from Sheepdrove
Do you cover smaller places like Sheepdrove?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is fire rated sealant in Sheepdrove guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we’ll agree it with you first.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
