Fire rated sealant in Hundridge
Intumescent sealant looks much like any other sealant until it gets hot; in a fire it expands into the joint. Which product suits a gap depends on its width, the materials either side and what runs through it. We work on linear gaps, plasterboard & masonry and flats & HMOs, and people most often call us about old fire sealant that has split or come away and gaps left after a refit or conversion.
For a small place like Hundridge, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Check risers, ceiling voids and cupboards during building checks
- Report cracked or damaged seals as soon as you notice them
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Your questions about fire rated sealant in Hundridge
Will you come out to Hundridge?
Yes. Hundridge 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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Great Missenden station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t issue ratings or certificates ourselves. The performance comes from the product’s tested details and the specification from your assessor or designer, and we install to them.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, we don’t assess buildings. When your assessor or designer has set out what’s needed, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Quotes for fire rated sealant in Hundridge
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Roughly how big the job is
- How we’d reach the joints
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work and give you a clear quote.
When to call us in Hundridge
Over time, buildings change layout and use. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- New service routes left unsealed after building work
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hyde Heath Infant School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What your quote should include
- How hidden problems are handled
- How long to leave it before use
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Are they insured?

What else we do in Hundridge
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Hundridge, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- 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.
- Locations and products are noted so you have them on file.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Letting agents and landlords in Hundridge can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Why deal with it now?
Items left open on a fire risk assessment tend to come back at the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hundridge, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Hundridge
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.
Rented homes near Great Missenden station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
