Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety

How we handle fire rated sealant in Bernards Heath
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. We work on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and door frames, and people most often call us about gaps left after a refit or conversion and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls.
For a pub, café, guest house or shop in or near Bernards Heath, its washrooms and kitchen need the same sealant care as any big building.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Fire rated sealant around Bernards Heath
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Bernards Heath. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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.
Rented homes near St Albans station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. For buildings such as Church of St Saviour, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

How the job changes by surface
Flats and HMOs
In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We work through the gaps on your assessment room by room.
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We fill it with a fire-rated product suited to the materials either side.
How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Parking around Bernards Heath is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall

Why it’s worth doing now in Bernards Heath
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, so both the product and the method matter. Around Bernards Heath, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
