What we’re called out for in Hillesden
Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.
Look out for any of the following:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
Around Hillesden, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.

About our fire rated sealant in Hillesden
We can work through a building room by room or floor by floor, noting the locations and products as we go. It gives you a list to keep with the building’s fire safety documents. We work on service penetrations, door frames and flats & HMOs, and common reasons people get in touch are joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and fire stopping disturbed by later work.
Somewhere as small as Hillesden, 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.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Buckinghamshire.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- A wall that isn’t a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Service penetrations
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Plan fire stopping into any work that goes through walls or floors
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot, so ask us which we used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, don’t leave it for the next one. Get it sealed and recorded so the item can be closed.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- The rough size of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the property is

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hillesden
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How the job changes by surface
Plasterboard walls
Service holes in plasterboard are often rough and oversized. Where a hole is bigger than the sealant’s tested range, it needs another approach.
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.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. In a small place like Hillesden, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we work through your list or survey, measuring each gap and checking what it’s formed in.
- Old or unsuitable sealant is cut out and the gap cleaned.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit 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.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Related advice
What fire rated sealant looks like in Hillesden
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.
Community buildings like Church of All Saints are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.
