About our fire rated sealant in Hyde Heath
Deciding which gaps need fire stopping isn’t our role; that comes from your fire risk assessor, designer or building control. What we do is apply the right product to that specification, properly and neatly. If you are dealing with gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Hyde Heath, commercial work is more likely to be a pub, a farm shop, holiday lets or a village hall than an office block. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Leave it or put it right?
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Having them sealed and recorded now means you can show the action was taken. Around Hyde Heath, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why us?
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Full insurance on every job
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. For a village or hamlet like Hyde Heath, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Door frames
The gap between a door frame and the wall around it needs sealing as well as the door itself. We seal that gap with a fire-rated sealant suited to the frame and wall.
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 are sealing.
What affects the quote in Hyde Heath
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The size of the job
- The product the joint needs
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The address or postcode of the job
- The type of property
- The rough size of the job
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
Common questions in Hyde Heath
Is Hyde Heath within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Amersham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, assessment is not something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we can quote for the fire-rated sealant items.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. The door and its fittings are a separate job for a door specialist.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes, in flats, HMOs, schools, offices and other buildings, occupied or empty. Tell us how the building is used and we will plan around it.
Can I use normal mastic around a pipe through a fire wall?
No. It might close the gap, but it isn’t a fire-rated seal. A tested fire-rated product is needed, or ask us to do it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Deciding what fire stopping a building needs
- A wall that is not a fire-resisting element to begin with
- Large holes that need a different fire-stopping system
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Hyde Heath
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, and gaps around services are often picked up there. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
For landlords with property near Amersham station, new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. Community buildings like Parish church of Saint John the Baptist are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Take photos of fire stopping before ceilings or boxing go back
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Flag any open gap you spot round a pipe or cable
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
Look at the sealed gaps as part of your routine walk-rounds. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
When to call us in Hyde Heath
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
If you look after a building such as Hyde Heath Infant School, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
