FAQs for Wallcrouch
Do you cover Wallcrouch for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Wallcrouch is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Stonegate station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we will plan around it.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product, installed to its details.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Fire rated sealant in Wallcrouch: 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, 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stonegate Church of England Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Letting a property close to Stonegate station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Common problems we fix in Wallcrouch
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Community buildings like Shover's Green Baptist Chapel are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

What else we do in Wallcrouch
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance to keep disruption down.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. We seal them to the tested detail, with backing where it’s needed.
Leave it or put it right?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. In a small place like Wallcrouch, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
