Commercial buildings in Bower Heath
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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 All Saints, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For landlords with property near Harpenden station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Schools such as Sauncey Wood Primary School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. Every gap we seal is listed with the product used, so you have it on file.

Can you work in occupied buildings?

Will you assess my building’s fire safety?

How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Bower Heath needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- We apply the fire-rated or intumescent sealant to the specified depth and tool it.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Behind most architraves is a gap between frame and wall. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Linear gaps
Long, narrow gaps appear where walls meet slabs and ceilings. They’re sealed with a fire-rated sealant over backing where the detail calls for it.
When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Service penetrations
- Door frames

Why it’s worth doing now in Bower Heath
For some gaps, sealant is not the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We’ll say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Around Bower Heath, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
If you manage several properties in or around Bower Heath, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
