Hunsdonbury Fire Rated Sealant
Our applicators work in Hunsdonbury on intumescent and fire-rated sealant around gaps, frames and service penetrations. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
Different surfaces, different methods
Flats and HMOs
Flats and HMOs rely on fire separation between homes and the common parts. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.
Service penetrations
Different services need different details: metal pipes, cables and plastic pipes aren’t treated the same. Each one is sealed to the product’s tested detail and we flag any that need another system.
Fire rated sealant in Hunsdonbury, done properly
Where services or frames pass through a fire-resisting wall or floor, the gap around them needs a fire-rated seal. We apply intumescent and fire-rated sealants to the manufacturer’s tested details for each gap. If you have open holes round services passing through fire walls and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can put it right.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Hunsdonbury, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Hunsdonbury
Do you cover smaller places like Hunsdonbury?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Can you work in occupied buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in flats, HMOs, schools and offices while they’re in use and we plan access around the people using them. Out-of-hours work can be arranged.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No. Your fire risk assessor, designer or building control decides that. Our job is applying the sealant to their specification.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Not every fire-rated sealant takes paint.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.

Do you need fire rated sealant in Hunsdonbury?
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it’s easy to leave unsealed when doors are changed.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant
- Gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls
If you look after a building such as Hunsdon Junior Mixed and Infant School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
