Fire rated sealant around Holyfield
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
Letting a property close to Cheshunt station? Then new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.

Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
Many fire-resisting walls in flats, offices and conversions are plasterboard. We use a product tested in that kind of wall for the gap we’re sealing.
Masonry and concrete
Preparation counts on brick, block and concrete. The gap is cleaned and backed where required.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:

When to call us in Holyfield
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
If you look after a building such as Turnford School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Before booking anyone
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Are they insured?
- How long the guarantee is
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Construction that does not provide fire resistance on its own
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Holyfield

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
Any fire seal that is 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: noise, draughts and even pests can come through too. Sealing them early helps on every front.
