Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment room by room.
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Stotfold Common
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor. That record is useful for your files and for whoever looks at the building next. If you have fire stopping disturbed by later work and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can help, on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and door frames alike.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Stotfold Common, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Stotfold Common and everywhere else we cover.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Stotfold Common, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Advice
Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps

Leave it or put it right?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Around Stotfold Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Stotfold Common questions
Do you cover smaller places like Stotfold Common?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Arlesey station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Do you work in flats, HMOs and commercial buildings?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The size of the job
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
- When we can work, for business premises
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Landlord and commercial work in Stotfold Common
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Fire rated sealant in Stotfold Common: 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of Saint Guthlac, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Letting a property close to Arlesey station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a building such as St Mary's CofE Academy Stotfold, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
