Advice
Fire rated sealant in Walton, done properly
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. We work on service penetrations, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed.
If you run a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Walton, the washrooms and kitchen need the same attention as a big site, and fire-rated sealant around service openings should be restored after new pipes or cables go through.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Walton as everywhere else we work.

What else we do in Walton
When to call us in Walton
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Heronsgate School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is
- What insurance they hold
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Fire rated sealant around Walton
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Walton. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed.
For buildings such as Church of St Thomas, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Rented homes near Bow Brickhill station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

When something else is needed
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame

Why it’s worth doing now in Walton
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Homes in smaller places like Walton can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The problem you’ve noticed

Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified, flat by flat if needed.
Common questions in Walton
Do you work for landlords with property near Bow Brickhill station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Walton?
Yes, Walton is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not give ratings or certificates for our work. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it with a record of each location.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
