What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach, and we will tell you.
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal

Questions from Widford
Can you do fire rated sealant in Widford?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Widford is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is Widford within the area you cover?
Yes. Widford is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
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.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.

Fire rated sealant in Widford: local notes
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
Letting a property close to Harlow Town station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a building such as Widford School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

Leave it or put it right?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. Sealing the gap now is a contained job on its own that doesn’t depend on other work. In a small place like Widford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Common problems we fix in Widford
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it is not fire-rated.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
For buildings such as Parish Church of St John the Baptist, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
