Surface by surface
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. We clean out what’s there and reseal to the right depth.
Plasterboard walls
Plasterboard partitions are common in flats, offices and conversions. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for the gap we’re sealing.
About our fire rated sealant in Great Hallingbury
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; your assessor, designer or building control sets that out. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. We work on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and door frames, and the jobs we see most are seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers and old fire sealant that has split or come away.
Work in a small place like Great Hallingbury is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, clients or events where possible.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Great Hallingbury as everywhere else we work.

What happens if it’s left?
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 sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. Older cottages and farmhouses around Great Hallingbury can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Great Hallingbury
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.
Letting a property close to Bishops Stortford station? Then 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 Thorn Grove Primary School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. Community buildings like Church of St Giles are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much there is to do

- How many areas need sealing
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

- Photos by email, if that’s easy

Great Hallingbury: your questions answered
Is Great Hallingbury within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Bishops Stortford station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Ordinary silicone, caulk or foam is not tested as fire stopping. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
