Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Hunsdon
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: correct depth, correct backing and a product suited to the surfaces. That is the part we focus on, one gap at a time. Typical jobs include holes left by a change of layout and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers, across flats & HMOs, pipe & cable gaps and linear gaps.
For a small place like Hunsdon, the journey and timings are agreed in advance, so the job can fit around bookings, guests or opening times where possible.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Fire rated sealant in Hunsdon: 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 look after a church, hall or community building such as St Francis Chapel, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there. Managing a site like Hunsdon Junior Mixed and Infant School? Then gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices. For landlords with property near Roydon station, fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Hunsdon, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Access to each area is agreed so the work can run in order.
- Old, damaged or unsuitable sealant is removed.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- We apply and tool the sealant to the product’s tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any parking rules near the property
Ask for a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Advice
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Certifying a building or signing off its fire safety
- Openings too large for sealant, which need batts, boards or another system
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Hunsdon
Will you come out to Hunsdon?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Hunsdon for fire rated sealant?
Yes, Hunsdon is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. We will confirm how long when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. Standard sealants aren’t made or tested to stop fire. If it’s been used, we remove it and use the right product.
Will we have a record of what was sealed?
Yes. We record the locations we have sealed and the products used to keep with your fire safety documents.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. We seal the gap between the frame and the wall with a suitable fire-rated product, to the product’s details. The door, its seals and closer are for a door specialist.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealant is not the fix for every opening. Large holes, cable bundles and plastic pipes can call for batts, collars or wraps. If a gap isn’t suitable for sealant, we will tell you. In a small place like Hunsdon, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Ask which product was used before you paint
Avoid covering a sealed gap with anything that isn’t part of the tested detail. Repairs should use a matching fire-rated product. Ask us if you’re not sure which product was used.
If a fire risk assessment has flagged a gap, do not leave it for the next one. Have it sealed, then keep the record.
