Can I do it myself?
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.
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.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Waterdale, 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.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
Open gaps do not only matter in a fire: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Dealing with them early helps with all of these.
What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run.
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach and we will flag it.
Workplaces and buildings in Waterdale
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 are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as Parmiter's School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. For buildings such as Church of All Saints, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Rented homes near Bricket Wood station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Waterdale
Do you cover Waterdale for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Waterdale is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Waterdale?
Yes, Waterdale is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you tell me which gaps need fire stopping?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

Why act early in Waterdale
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own and needn’t wait for anything else. In a small place like Waterdale, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
