Fire rated sealant in Water Stratford, done properly
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. Send us the list or the survey and we’ll quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. We are often asked to deal with holes left by a change of layout and damaged fire sealant left by other trades, across plasterboard & masonry, door frames and pipe & cable gaps.
Somewhere as small as Water Stratford, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Water Stratford as everywhere else we work.

Water Stratford: your questions answered
Will you come out to Water Stratford?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What guarantee comes with fire rated sealant in Water Stratford?
All our work, in Water Stratford and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, we do not assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
That isn’t something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Surface by surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. The door leaf, its seals and closer need a door specialist.
Masonry and concrete
Holes through concrete and block are rarely neat. We measure the gap at its widest point to make sure it suits the product.

When to call us in Water Stratford
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
For buildings such as Church of St Giles, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The amount of work
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Any mould that needs treating
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
- The address or postcode of the job
- The rough size of the job
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Water Stratford
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Landlords and letting agents in Water Stratford can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Why act early in Water Stratford
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Around Water Stratford, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Water Stratford, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us if parking is tricky
