Temple: your questions answered
Do you work in hotels near Temple?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do you cover smaller places like Temple?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we’ll mention anything we notice about the door.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What does intumescent mean?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent types expand when heated, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
How we handle fire rated sealant in Temple
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over. We are often asked to deal with fire seals that have cracked with movement and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, on pipe & cable gaps, linear gaps and door frames.
For a small place like Temple, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Temple, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Do you need fire rated sealant in Temple?
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
Look out for these signs:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bisham Church of England Academy, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Commercial buildings in Temple
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Temple. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, 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.
If you let a flat or house near Marlow station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of All Saints, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified, flat by flat if needed.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each, and tell you if sealant alone is not the right fix.
