Contracted and sealed off (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leased

'contracted' is the definition.
(leasing is a kind of contracting)

'sealed off' is the wordplay.
'off' is an anagram indicator.
'sealed' anagrammed gives 'LEASED'.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for leased that I've seen before include "Let for money" , "Rented" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
