About our fire rated sealant in Adeyfield
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. Each gap is sealed to the product maker’s tested detail for its size and substrate, and we can record what went where. We work on pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry, and the jobs we see most are fire stopping disturbed by later work and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant.
Commercial work around a smaller place like Adeyfield generally means a pub, a shop, a school or small business units rather than office blocks. The work is the same as in a big building, just on a smaller scale.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Common problems we fix in Adeyfield
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
For buildings such as St Barnabas, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
Before booking anyone
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What insurance they hold
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. A visit to Adeyfield is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Why act early in Adeyfield
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Homes in smaller places like Adeyfield can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before work begins.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Adeyfield
Hemel Hempstead, which Adeyfield is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Like the other new towns, Hemel Hempstead was planned with its own areas for industry and business, so workplaces sit close to the homes. Their washrooms, kitchens and fire-rated joints need the same upkeep as anywhere. Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For landlords with property near Apsley station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hobletts Manor Infants' School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Adeyfield: your questions answered
Can you do fire rated sealant in Adeyfield?
Yes, Adeyfield is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Adeyfield?
Yes, Adeyfield is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We note each location and the product that went in, so you have it on file.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
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.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
