Fire rated sealant in Loudwater
In flats, HMOs, offices and schools, fire stopping is often disturbed by later work. One new cable or pipe can leave a gap that nobody goes back to seal. Those are the gaps we close, using a tested fire-rated product. If you’re dealing with open joints along the top of partitions and gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around a place like Loudwater, halls, schools and small businesses all have washrooms and kitchens used by many people. Their sealant and fire-rated joints are as important as those in any bigger building.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building, depending on how much there is to do. A visit to Loudwater is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start with the survey or action list, checking the size and surfaces of every gap.
- We remove any old or unsuitable filler and clean the gap.
- Where the tested detail needs backing or fill, we fit it.
- Fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied to the right depth and tooled.
- We record the locations and products used for your records.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
What we’re called out for in Loudwater
Sealant applied too thin, without the backing its detail needs, or onto dust won’t perform as it was tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried particularly when it was the last job before handover.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Gaps left after a refit or conversion
- Open joints along the top of partitions
- Ordinary sealant used where a fire-rated product was needed
Schools such as Loudwater Combined School are buildings too, and fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
What to look for in a quote
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether VAT is included
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Include fire stopping when you schedule refits
- Ask which product was used before you paint
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
Let contractors know where fire stopping has been done, and ask them to reseal anything they cut through. A lot of damaged fire stopping comes from later work.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Have it sealed, then keep the record so you can show it was dealt with.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Loudwater
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 church, hall or community building such as Church of St Peter, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Letting a property close to Bourne End station? Then any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.
