Fire rated sealant for homes and businesses in Jersey Farm
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, so we follow the tested detail for each one. If you have cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and fire stopping disturbed by later work, we can put it right, on linear gaps, flats & HMOs and service penetrations alike.
Around a place like Jersey Farm, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Sealant and fire-rated joints there matter as much as in any larger building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Look for cracks, gaps or sealant that has been cut or pulled out and have them put right.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Over time, more work adds more holes and the job gets bigger.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Jersey Farm
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 site and facilities teams at buildings such as Skyswood Primary & Nursery School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. Letting a property close to St Albans station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through. Community buildings like Saint Mary's are part of the picture too: service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a smaller place like Jersey Farm, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We begin by agreeing the list of gaps from your assessor’s or designer’s requirements.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed.
- The specified fire-rated sealant goes in over any backing its detail requires.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in

FAQs for Jersey Farm
Do you work for landlords with property near St Albans station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Jersey Farm?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you take on fire stopping in schools and offices?
Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. The order of work and access are planned with you.
Do you provide details of the products used?
Yes. We record the locations we’ve sealed and the products used to keep with your fire safety documents.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Why act early in Jersey Farm
An unsealed gap lets smoke and fire get round a wall that was built to hold them back. A proper seal lets the wall do its job again, and the sealing itself is often a contained piece of work. In a smaller place like Jersey Farm, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
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, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
