When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

Other services in Wavendon
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before we start so residents know what to expect.
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.
Wavendon questions
Do you cover Wavendon for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Wavendon is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Woburn Sands station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
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.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer.
How we quote for fire rated sealant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The amount of work
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wavendon
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 that does not depend on other work. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wavendon, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Somewhere as small as Wavendon, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Commercial buildings in Wavendon
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.
For landlords with property near Woburn Sands station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. For buildings such as Church of St Mary, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Managing a site like St Mary's Wavendon CofE Primary? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
