About our fire rated sealant in Brickendon
Ordinary silicone or decorators’ caulk in a fire-stopping gap isn’t a fire-rated seal. Anything unsuitable comes out first and reseal with a fire-rated product tested for that kind of gap. We work on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and linear gaps, and the jobs we see most are sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and gaps left after a refit or conversion.
Somewhere as small as Brickendon, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Brickendon and everywhere else we cover.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

What affects the quote in Brickendon
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How much there is to do
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Why it’s worth doing now in Brickendon
A quick fill with any sealant to hand is not fire stopping. 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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Brickendon, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why Brickendon customers choose us

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
Common questions in Brickendon
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bayford station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Brickendon in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Brickendon is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product following the tested details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. What’s required is set by your assessor or designer, and the product’s tested details show what it achieves.
How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Brickendon, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Advice
Commercial buildings in Brickendon
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Community buildings like Holy Cross & St Alban are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. For landlords with property near Bayford station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

What the job involves on each surface
Service penetrations
New gaps tend to show up where services have been added. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in over any backing the detail calls for.
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, and we’ll tell you.
