Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety

Winkfield questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Ascot station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Winkfield?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Winkfield is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Winkfield and the rest of Windsor and Maidenhead, along with the rest of our area.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
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.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so the item can be closed.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Why act early in Winkfield
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Around Winkfield, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What the job involves on each surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist and we’ll mention anything we notice.
Service penetrations
Pipes, cables and ducts passing through fire-resisting walls and floors each leave a gap. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.
What affects the quote in Winkfield
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, 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
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- How we’d reach the joints
