How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
Keep the record we give you with the building’s fire safety documents. It saves time at the next inspection or assessment.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.
Fire rated sealant in Kimpton, done properly
Fire stopping only performs as intended if it’s done to the detail: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over. We work on service penetrations, linear gaps and door frames, and people most often call us about cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant and standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Kimpton, the washrooms, kitchens and any fire-rated joints need the same care as a big site.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

How do I get a quote for fire rated sealant in Kimpton?

Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
For landlords and businesses

Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Different surfaces, different methods
Plasterboard walls
We check that the board around the gap is sound. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
Masonry and concrete
For masonry and concrete, we use a product tested in that substrate. The gap is cleaned of dust first so the seal has something sound to bond to.
Do you need fire rated sealant in Kimpton?
Gaps around door frames are easily missed. 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:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Old fire sealant that has split or come away
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kimpton Primary School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
What your quote should include
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building from start to finish. Somewhere like Kimpton needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- Anything that is not fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
- We put in whatever backing or fill the product detail specifies.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Why deal with it now?
Sealant isn’t the fix for every opening. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. We will say so if a gap needs something other than sealant. Around Kimpton, 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 play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
