How we handle fire rated sealant in Fern
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. We work on pipe & cable gaps, door frames and linear gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs and damaged fire sealant left by other trades.
Somewhere as small as Fern, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Why deal with it now?
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Older cottages and farmhouses around Fern can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Fern?
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
If you let a flat or house near Bourne End station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Fern questions
Is Fern in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Fern is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Bourne End station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Fern, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Gaps are cleaned of dust and loose material.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Workplaces and buildings in Fern
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.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St John the Baptist, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Schools such as Little Marlow CofE School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.

What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Flats & HMOs
How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We seal them along their full length.
Door frames
We deal with the gap around the frame, not the door. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist and we’ll mention anything we notice.
