About our fire rated sealant in Wormshill
Later work by other trades often breaks through fire stopping, especially in flats, HMOs, offices and schools. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We are often asked to deal with door frames with gaps between frame and wall and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, on plasterboard & masonry, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps.
Somewhere as small as Wormshill, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.
When something else is needed
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Why act early in Wormshill
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Around Wormshill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Questions from Wormshill
Do you cover smaller places like Wormshill?
Yes, Wormshill is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover Wormshill for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Wormshill is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The amount of work
- How many areas need sealing
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The type of property
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the property is
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. For a village or hamlet like Wormshill, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for the gap we are sealing.
