Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Brookmans Park
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it, so we follow the tested detail for each one. Common call-outs are for seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and open joints along the top of partitions, across plasterboard & masonry, service penetrations and linear gaps.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Brookmans Park, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any working-time requirements on site
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We’ll give you a clear quote before any work starts.
Why deal with it now?
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. Sealing it properly restores what the wall was there to do, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In a small place like Brookmans Park, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Workplaces and buildings in Brookmans Park
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, 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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as United Reformed Church Brookmans Park, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Schools such as Chancellor's School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

Questions from Brookmans Park
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Brookmans Park station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Brookmans Park?
Yes, Brookmans Park is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
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.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. 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.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. The job usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Brookmans Park, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us if parking is tricky
