Surface by surface
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Service penetrations
A copper pipe, a cable and a plastic pipe can all need different fire-stopping details. We follow the manufacturer’s tested detail for each.
About our fire rated sealant in Hudnall
A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We’re often asked to deal with fire seals that have cracked with movement and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap, across service penetrations, door frames and plasterboard & masonry.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Hudnall, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Fire rated sealant in Hudnall: local notes
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.
If you let a flat or house near Berkhamsted station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

How we quote for fire rated sealant
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number and length of the joints
- How easy the joints are to reach
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The address or postcode of the job
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.

What else we do in Hudnall
What we’re called out for in Hudnall
Over time, buildings change layout and use. Conversions to flats and HMOs, and office refits, create new walls and new routes for services, with gaps to match.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
Around Hudnall, as everywhere, fire rated sealant is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What product goes in the joint
- When the joint can take water or movement
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Never patch a fire seal with standard sealant
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
Don’t add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. We can tell you which product we used.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded so you can show it was dealt with.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- Doors that aren’t fire doors in the first place
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
