Leave it or put it right?
Fire-rated sealants need more care than everyday sealant. How it’s installed changes how it performs, and we work to the product details every time. Older cottages and farmhouses around Harmer Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.

How we handle fire rated sealant in Harmer Green
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we follow the tested detail for each one. If you’re dealing with unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, we can put it right, on service penetrations, plasterboard & masonry and pipe & cable gaps alike.
In a village or hamlet like Harmer Green, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Do not paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that is not part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
An open gap isn’t only a fire issue: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.

What else we do in Harmer Green
Commercial buildings in Harmer Green
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.
Rented homes near Welwyn North station change hands often, and any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product. Community buildings like Digswell Village Church are part of the picture too: gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Managing a site like Oaklands Primary School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.

What the job involves on each surface

Converted houses often have gaps around old and new services. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and the locations noted.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The process
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on how many gaps there are. In a small place like Harmer Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant, and the choice depends on the gap.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. It looks sealed but won’t perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service, or ask us to do it.
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, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
Can you give us a record of the work?
Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
