Fire rated sealant in Astwick
Fire-rated sealant closes the gaps around pipes, cables and frames where they pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. If you have standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and gaps left after a refit or conversion, we can put it right, on linear gaps, service penetrations and door frames alike.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Astwick, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What affects the quote in Astwick
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
- The amount of work
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is
For a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You’ll have a clear quote before we start.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- 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.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Over time, more work adds more holes.
Why act early in Astwick
An open gap in a fire-resisting wall is a route for smoke and fire. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the work involved is often modest. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Astwick, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

Common questions in Astwick
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Arlesey station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Astwick?
Yes. Astwick is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product following the tested details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It looks sealed but will not perform as fire stopping. A tested fire-rated product is needed and we can apply it for you.
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Astwick, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- 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.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry

Fire rated sealant in Astwick: local notes
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.
Community buildings like Church of Saint Guthlac are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. If you let a flat or house near Arlesey station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Schools such as St Mary's CofE Academy Stotfold are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
