Leave it or put it right?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we’ll tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wormingford can have timber 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: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

About our fire rated sealant in Wormingford
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you have unsealed gaps around fire door frames and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can help, on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry alike.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Wormingford, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Loose material is removed so the sealant has a firm edge.
Commercial buildings in Wormingford
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For landlords with property near Bures station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Wormingford
I let a flat near Bures station. Can you help?

Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.

Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
Signs you need fire rated sealant in Wormingford
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave doesn’t always get resealed.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Andrew, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
