Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in.
Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We work along the whole run.
What affects the quote in West Langdon
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The old material and how stubborn it is
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The type of property
- Any access issues, like height or stairs

We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. In a small place like West Langdon, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Fire rated sealant around West Langdon
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Letting a property close to Martin Mill station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Community buildings like St Mary the Virgin are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Common questions in West Langdon
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Martin Mill station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like West Langdon?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What’s the difference between intumescent and fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated is the broad term for sealants tested for fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one option among several. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used, so you have it on file.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and get them seen to.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Common problems we fix in West Langdon
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust will not perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Langdon Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
