Fire rated sealant in Amwell, done properly
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We are often asked to deal with gaps left after a refit or conversion and fire stopping disturbed by later work, on flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and plasterboard & masonry.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Amwell, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Fire rated sealant in Amwell: local notes
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 buildings such as St Helen's Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. For landlords with property near Harpenden station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What happens if it’s left?
Waiting for the next refit can leave a gap open for years. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. In a small place like Amwell, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. Somewhere as small as Amwell, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Unsuitable material such as ordinary foam or silicone is cut out and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear the area around the work

Masonry and concrete
Core-drilled and broken-out holes in concrete are often irregular. We check the gap size around the service to make sure it suits the product.
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance.
FAQs for Amwell
Is Amwell within the area you cover?

Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent means it swells when heated. Intumescent sealants are one kind of fire-rated sealant; the right one depends on the gap and what passes through it.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.

When to call us in Amwell
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: general-purpose foam, everyday silicone or caulk where a fire-rated seal was needed. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
If you look after a building such as St Helen's Church of England Primary School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Landlord and commercial work in Amwell
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
