How we handle fire rated sealant in Chipperfield
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over. We work on linear gaps, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about unsealed gaps around fire door frames and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list.
For a small place like Chipperfield, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

When to call us in Chipperfield
In some buildings the gap was filled with the wrong thing in the first place: ordinary expanding foam, standard silicone or decorators’ caulk in a place that needed a tested fire seal. It looks sealed, but it isn’t fire-rated.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
Managing a site like Kings Langley School? Then service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is VAT in the price?
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
What fire rated sealant looks like in Chipperfield
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 Church of St Paul, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Letting a property close to Apsley station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Common questions in Chipperfield
Is Chipperfield in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Chipperfield is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Apsley station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes, where the gap suits a sealant detail. Our work is the gap around the frame and we’ll tell you if we spot problems with the door.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use, installed to its details.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Big openings where sealant alone is not the tested solution
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Leave it or put it right?
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 work involved is often modest. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chipperfield, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Surface by surface
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.
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We work through the gaps on your assessment.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
What affects the cost of fire rated sealant
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The product the joint needs
- How many areas need sealing
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The rough size of the job
