Whitchurch Hill questions
Is Whitchurch Hill within the area you cover?
Yes. Whitchurch Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Whitchurch Hill in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Whitchurch Hill is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you carry out fire risk assessments?
No, assessment is not something we do. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we’ll quote for the sealant work on it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. Depth, backing and surface preparation all affect how a seal performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Around Whitchurch Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Linear gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
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, then guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Access and height
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the job is, and your postcode

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 over any backing the detail calls for.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it.

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Whitchurch Hill
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’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a building such as The Oratory Preparatory School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you let a flat or house near Pangbourne station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For buildings such as St John the Baptist, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
