Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in High Barnet
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over. If you have joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed, we can help, whatever the surface.
Commercial work in London comes with its own logistics: loading restrictions, building rules and tight access. Timings and access are agreed with the building before work starts in High Barnet.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common questions in High Barnet
Can you do fire rated sealant in High Barnet?
Yes, High Barnet 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.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in High Barnet?
Parking in High Barnet, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
An intumescent material expands when it’s heated. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.

Do you need fire rated sealant in High Barnet?
Much fire stopping is hidden: in ceiling voids, service risers and behind boxing. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
As a London address, High Barnet can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Workplaces and buildings in High Barnet
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. Many London buildings have tight access and loading restrictions, so out-of-hours working can be arranged where needed.
If you let a flat or house near Hadley Wood station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a building such as Foulds School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

How the job changes by surface
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. We choose a product and depth that suit the gap and the movement from the manufacturer’s details.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the sealant bonds.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.
Small gaps around services are simple to deal with while there are only a few. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
