Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Farther Howegreen
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. We work on door frames, linear gaps and service penetrations, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and old fire sealant that has split or come away.
Work in a small place like Farther Howegreen is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Commercial buildings in Farther Howegreen
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, 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cold Norton Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For buildings such as Parish Church of All Saints, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Take pictures of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Sealing it early is a simple step to take.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Farther Howegreen?
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Holes left by a change of layout
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
If you let a flat or house near North Fambridge station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How the job changes by surface
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first.
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. We seal any open gap to the product’s tested details.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Farther Howegreen, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work

FAQs for Farther Howegreen
Do you cover Farther Howegreen for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Farther Howegreen is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Farther Howegreen?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used for your files.
Can ordinary silicone be used in a fire-stopping gap?
No. Where a fire-rated seal is needed, it has to be a product tested for that use.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Why deal with it now?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, so we follow the maker’s details on every gap. Older cottages and farmhouses around Farther Howegreen can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
