Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Great Hormead
Filling a fire-stopping gap with standard silicone or caulk doesn’t make it fire-rated. Anything unsuitable comes out first and the gap is resealed with a product tested for that use. If you have open gaps behind door architraves and open joints along the top of partitions, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Great Hormead, 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.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Great Hormead
Do you cover Great Hormead for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Great Hormead is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Great Hormead?
Yes, Great Hormead is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. We cut it out and reseal with a fire-rated product.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, we do not assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t give ratings or certificates for our work. The requirement comes from your assessor, designer or building control, and we apply a product tested for it, recording the locations and products.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Great Hormead, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What affects the quote in Great Hormead
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
- How much there is to do
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the property is
For fire rated sealant in Great Hormead, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Linear gaps
Gaps along the top of partitions are easy to miss above a ceiling. We seal them along their full length so there are no open sections left.
Service penetrations
Service penetrations are where new gaps often appear. Old or unsuitable filler comes out before the right sealant goes in with backing where the detail needs it.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Great Hormead and across Hertfordshire. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Workplaces and buildings in Great Hormead
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hormead Church of England (VA) First 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 Church of St Nicholas, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
