Fire rated sealant in Letty Green, done properly
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. A new cable run or a replaced pipe can leave an open hole behind. We seal them with a product tested for that kind of gap. Typical jobs include sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and gaps left after a refit or conversion, across linear gaps, door frames and pipe & cable gaps.
For holiday lets, converted business premises or a community building near Letty Green, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Letty Green: your questions answered
Will you come out to Letty Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do fire rated sealant in Letty Green?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Letty Green is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What does intumescent mean?
Intumescent means it swells when heated, helping close the gap. It’s one type of fire-rated sealant; which product suits depends on the gap, the substrate and the service.
Can you tell me how many minutes the seal will last?
That isn’t something we state or certify. Your specification sets the requirement, and we fit a product whose tested details meet it.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you seal gaps around fire door frames?
Yes. Gaps behind architraves are a common job for us. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before work begins.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Letty Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Allow for resealing whenever new services are run
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- File the fire-stopping record where your assessor can find it
- Keep photos of seals that will be hidden
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. If you need new services through a sealed wall, plan the fire stopping as part of the job.
A gap left open in a fire-resisting wall or floor lets smoke spread in ways the building wasn’t designed for. Closing it is usually a straightforward job.
What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere as small as Letty Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- We measure every gap and note what it’s in and what passes through.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- We hand over a list of locations and products for your files.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about parking restrictions

- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire

Do you need fire rated sealant in Letty Green?
Much fire stopping is hidden: above ceilings, inside risers and behind panels. Out of view, damage sits unnoticed until someone inspects.
The most common problems we see are:
- Sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list
- Damaged fire sealant left by other trades
- Gaps filled with a product that is not fire-rated
- Unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall
If you let a flat or house near Hertford North station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Fire rated sealant around Letty Green
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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We work to the specification you are given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as St John's Church, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building. Schools such as Hertingfordbury Cowper Primary School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.
