Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Fire rated sealant in Dane End
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. We’re often asked to deal with gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant, on pipe & cable gaps, plasterboard & masonry and door frames.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Dane End, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes.

Why it’s worth doing now in Dane End
Fire-rated sealants are less forgiving than ordinary ones. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. Around Dane End, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
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.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.

Fire rated sealant in Dane End: local notes
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.
Rented homes near Watton-At-Stone station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a building such as Munden Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Parish Church of All Saints, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
