Problem with your fire-stopping gaps in Baldock? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.

Fire rated sealant in Baldock
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor. Send us the list or the survey and we will quote for the fire-rated sealant work on it. If you have unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and unsealed gaps around fire door frames, we can help, on service penetrations, flats & HMOs and plasterboard & masonry alike.
For a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Baldock, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Baldock and across Hertfordshire.

What the job involves on each surface
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
Conversions generally leave a mix of old and new service holes. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product.
Leave it or put it right?
Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. If the details weren’t followed, the seal may need redoing when the building is next checked. Homes in smaller places like Baldock can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Common problems we fix in Baldock
Movement in the structure can open gaps too: a seal that cracks or pulls away leaves a path for smoke. Knocks, maintenance and building work damage it further.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hartsfield Junior Mixed and Infant School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a smaller place like Baldock, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
What fire rated sealant looks like in Baldock
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Baldock station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Community buildings like Church of St. Mary the Virgin are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you are not sure which product was used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.

Questions from Baldock
Do you cover smaller places like Baldock?
Yes. Baldock 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 work for landlords with property near Baldock station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The product needed can limit the range.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
