Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Wendover Dean, 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.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- 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

Fire rated sealant in Wendover Dean
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. If you’re dealing with open joints along the top of partitions and old fire sealant that has split or come away, we can help.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Wendover Dean, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Wendover Dean and everywhere else we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.

Why it’s worth doing now in Wendover Dean
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. In a small place like Wendover Dean, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

Fire rated sealant around Wendover Dean
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Wendover station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Schools such as John Colet School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

FAQs for Wendover Dean
Can you do fire rated sealant in Wendover Dean?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Wendover Dean is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Wendover Dean?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in so it’s there for the next inspection.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together.
