About our fire rated sealant in Wormstone
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. Common call-outs are for seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and door frames with gaps between frame and wall, across door frames, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
In a village or hamlet like Wormstone, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Why act early in Wormstone
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 isn’t suitable for sealant, we will tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wormstone can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Old sealant always removed completely
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Wormstone is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. We seal the frame-to-wall gap, not the door itself, and we’ll mention anything we notice about the door.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.

What else we do in Wormstone
Common problems we fix in Wormstone
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried, especially where it was squeezed in at the end of a project.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
For buildings such as St Michael and All Angels' Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- The amount of work
- When we can work, for business premises
- The type of sealant required

What we need to know

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Wormstone can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Wormstone and across Buckinghamshire. We can quote a run of properties together.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Wormstone, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

What fire rated sealant looks like in Wormstone
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a building such as Waddesdon Church of England School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
