We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. If you have open joints along the top of partitions and open holes round services passing through fire walls, we can help.

What we are called out for in Chalfont St Peter
Sometimes the wrong product was used from the start: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It may look fine, but it is not a fire-rated seal.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
Rented homes near Gerrards Cross station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Who turns up on the day
- Is VAT in the price?
- The length of the guarantee

Fire rated sealant around Chalfont St Peter
Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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. Chalfont St Peter has hotels and guest accommodation in and around it. For hotels, a room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of St Peter, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. If you look after a building such as Chalfont St Peter CofE Academy, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Working in occupied flats needs some planning. Access to flats and common areas is agreed in advance so residents know what to expect.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. We clean out dust and debris before sealing so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Why it’s worth doing now in Chalfont St Peter
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up means you can show the action was taken. In an older home around Chalfont St Peter, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Chalfont St Peter: your questions answered
Do you take on hotel work around Chalfont St Peter?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Gerrards Cross station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. Standard sealants are not made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
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, to the product’s details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Fire-rated sealant covers any sealant tested for use in fire stopping. Intumescent ones swell in heat, and they’re one of the options. We use whichever the specification and tested details call for.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
File the record of locations and products with your fire safety paperwork. It helps whoever checks the building next.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. A visit to Chalfont St Peter is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- We record what was done and flag anything that needs a different system.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work
