About our fire rated sealant in Barwick
Bigger jobs can be worked through in stages, flat by flat or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. If you have open holes round services passing through fire walls and open gaps behind door architraves, we can put it right.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Barwick, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Barwick needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the faces cleaned.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Common questions in Barwick
Do you cover Barwick for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Barwick is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Barwick within the area you cover?
Yes, Barwick is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Barwick, along with the rest of our area.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
Ratings and certificates are not something we issue. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer, and we install to them.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. When the job is done, we give you the locations and products. Tell us if your assessor needs it in a particular format.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

What else we do in Barwick
What affects the quote in Barwick
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The type of property
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Workplaces and buildings in Barwick
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 landlords with property near Ware station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Community buildings like St Mary's are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Linear gaps
- Service penetrations
- Flats & HMOs
- Door frames
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Plasterboard & masonry
What the job involves on each surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
Flats and HMOs
Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. We seal the ones on your specification with a tested product and the locations noted.
What happens if it’s left?
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. In a small place like Barwick, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
