Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Gaps that are too big for sealant alone need a different detail.
Masonry and concrete
Masonry is dusty and porous, so preparation matters. We brush and vacuum the gap and use backing where the detail needs it before the sealant goes in.
About our fire rated sealant in Hatfield Broad Oak
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through, so we work to the manufacturer’s details. If you’re dealing with standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap and gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Work in a small place like Hatfield Broad Oak is planned ahead, journey included, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

Workplaces and buildings in Hatfield Broad Oak

We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
