Wigginton questions
Do you cover smaller places like Wigginton?
Yes. Wigginton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Tring station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. We work from the specification you give us and install to the manufacturer’s details.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. It might close the gap, but it is not a fire-rated seal. Use a product tested for that gap and service, or ask us to do it.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Wigginton
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you have old fire sealant that has split or come away and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, we can help, on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps alike.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Wigginton, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What the job involves on each surface
Linear gaps
Linear gaps run along the head of walls, at floor edges and between panels. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Door frames
A door can only do its job if the gap behind its frame is sealed too. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Wigginton?
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bishop Wood Church of England Junior School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Why act early in Wigginton
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. Around Wigginton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
