Fire Rated Sealant in Green Tye
We cover Green Tye for intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.

- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
Frame gaps are normally hidden behind the architrave. Where it’s open, we seal it to the product’s details for that gap size so the architrave can be refitted.
Linear gaps
Head-of-wall gaps are often hidden above suspended ceilings. We work along the whole run so there are no open sections left.
Fire rated sealant in Green Tye
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then the sealant goes in to the depth the product’s details set. If you have linear gaps at the head of walls and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Work in a small place like Green Tye is planned ahead, journey included, so it can be fitted around guests, customers or events where possible.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Why it’s worth doing now in Green Tye
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Green Tye can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the list grows.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Green Tye, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

FAQs for Green Tye
I let a flat near Bishops Stortford station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover Green Tye for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Green Tye is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Generally, yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available, and we agree the colour with you before we start.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What does fire rated sealant cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.

Commercial buildings in Green Tye
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.
For landlords with property near Bishops Stortford station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Thomas, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.
