Fire rated sealant in High Leigh, done properly
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That detail is what we take care over, gap by gap. If you’re dealing with open gaps behind door architraves and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, we can help.
Somewhere as small as High Leigh, 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 is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

What fire rated sealant looks like in High Leigh
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, 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.
Schools such as Westfield Community Primary School are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. Rented homes near Broxbourne station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Any fire seal that’s cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
An open gap is not only a fire issue: they also let noise, draughts and sometimes pests through. Sealing them early helps on every front.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
When to call us in High Leigh
A lot of fire stopping is out of sight: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Because nobody sees it, gaps go unnoticed until an assessor or surveyor looks.
Look out for any of the following:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Open joints along the top of partitions
Community buildings like Church of St Catherine & St Paul are part of the picture too: older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like High Leigh, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We go through the gaps on your list or survey and check each one’s size and substrate.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- Backing or fill is fitted where the product’s tested detail calls for it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
High Leigh: your questions answered
Can you do fire rated sealant in High Leigh?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and High Leigh is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Is High Leigh within the area you cover?
Yes. High Leigh is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Many fire-rated sealants work this way, but not all, and the choice depends on the gap.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We do not certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Why act early in High Leigh
Squirting in whichever sealant is nearest doesn’t make a fire seal. Fire-rated products are tested in set gap sizes, depths and substrates, so both the product and the method matter. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like High Leigh, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
