Surface by 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.
Plasterboard walls
Holes in plasterboard are often cut roughly for services. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach, and we will tell you.
About our fire rated sealant in Batchworth Heath
We don’t assess buildings or decide what fire stopping is needed; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. Our part is applying the specified sealant carefully, to the right depth and with the right backing. We are often asked to deal with new service routes left unsealed after building work and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, on linear gaps, service penetrations and pipe & cable gaps.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Batchworth Heath, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What happens if it’s left?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Older cottages and farmhouses around Batchworth Heath can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot, so ask us which we used.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.

Workplaces and buildings in Batchworth Heath
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Holy Trinity Church, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as Holy Trinity CofE Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For landlords with property near Rickmansworth station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
