Fire rated sealant in Kinsbourne Green

A gap around a door frame, a linear joint at the head of a wall and a hole round a pipe are each sealed differently. Measuring the gap and checking what it’s made of comes first, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. We work on door frames, plasterboard & masonry and service penetrations, and the jobs we see most are open joints along the top of partitions and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey.

Somewhere as small as Kinsbourne Green, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. They all have washrooms, kitchens and service openings that need the right sealant.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Kinsbourne Green

Many open fire-stopping gaps are made after the building is finished. Electricians, plumbers and data installers drill through walls and ceilings and the hole they leave does not always get resealed.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

  • Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
  • Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
  • Door frames with gaps between frame and wall
  • Cracked or shrunken fire-rated sealant

Letting a property close to Harpenden station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the job turns out different
  • What the quote includes, VAT included or not
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Kinsbourne Green, the journey is planned in advance: 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.

  1. We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
  2. Anything that isn’t fit for the job comes out, and the gap is cleaned.
  3. Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
  4. The sealant goes in to the depth its detail sets, then it’s tooled off.
  5. Finally, we list where we worked and what we used, for your records.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the work
  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Related advice

Surface by surface

Flats and HMOs

In flats and HMOs, the walls and floors between homes and common areas need sealing where services pass through. We seal the gaps your assessor has identified room by room.

Service penetrations

Wherever a service goes through a fire-resisting wall or floor, there’s a gap around it. We seal it with a product tested for that service and gap size.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Looking after new joints is easy:

  • Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
  • Ask which product was used before you paint
  • Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
  • Keep photos of seals that will be hidden

Tell other trades that the gaps have been sealed, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. Later work is a common cause of damaged fire stopping.

Any job that breaks through a wall or ceiling should include resealing. Doing it at the time avoids leaving gaps behind.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

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 fails, we can still redo it.

Your questions about fire rated sealant in Kinsbourne Green

Do you work for landlords with property near Harpenden station?

Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Can you do fire rated sealant in Kinsbourne Green?

Yes, Kinsbourne Green is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.

Will we have a record of what was sealed?

Yes. You get a list of where we worked and what we used to keep with your fire safety documents.

What sealant do you use?

The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Can you work in occupied buildings?

Yes. Flats, HMOs, offices, schools and other occupied buildings are all part of our work. We agree access and the order of work with you first.

Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?

No. It looks sealed but will not perform as fire stopping. Use a product tested for that gap and service.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Kinsbourne Green

Workplaces and the common parts of blocks of flats in England need a fire risk assessment under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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.

If you look after a building such as Wood End School, service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment. If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Saint Mary the Virgin, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

Why act early in Kinsbourne Green

Paying for fire stopping that has to be redone is a false economy. Work that doesn’t follow the tested detail may have to come out again once someone inspects it. In a small place like Kinsbourne Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
