How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. We agree access to each flat and the common parts before work begins to keep disruption down.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Fire rated sealant in Windmill Hill, done properly
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That is the part we focus on. If you’re dealing with gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and open joints along the top of partitions, we can put it right.
For a small place like Windmill Hill, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Windmill Hill and across Essex.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
To get a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Windmill Hill questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kelvedon station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Is Windmill Hill in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Windmill Hill is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. Our work is the gap around the frame, and we will mention anything we notice about the door.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Landlord and commercial work in Windmill Hill
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
If you manage several properties in or around Windmill Hill, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
What happens if it’s left?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Windmill Hill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Fire rated sealant in Windmill Hill: local notes
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.
Community buildings like Parish Church of All Saints (inworth) are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Baynards Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Rented homes near Kelvedon station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Do not drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
