How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Sheering, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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 gap cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Common questions in Sheering
Can you do fire rated sealant in Sheering?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Sheering is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Sheering within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Occupied flats, HMOs, offices and schools are all fine. Early starts or out-of-hours work can be arranged where it’s needed.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Locations and products are written up when we finish. If you need pictures or a set layout, ask when you get a quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Fire rated sealant in Sheering: local notes
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 work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you look after a building such as Hatfield Heath Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Sheering
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- The type of sealant required
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How the job changes by 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.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Sheering, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
What you get with us
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Tidy, careful work
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
What we are called out for in Sheering
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.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
For landlords with property near Sawbridgeworth station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
What your quote should include
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How long the guarantee is
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sheering
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
