About our fire rated sealant in Loyter's 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’re often asked to deal with damaged fire sealant left by other trades and joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey, across pipe & cable gaps, service penetrations and plasterboard & masonry.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Loyter's Green, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Loyter's Green and everywhere else we cover.

When to call us in Loyter's Green
Lots of unsealed gaps appear long after the building was completed. New cables, pipes and data runs go through walls and ceilings and the hole round the new service is not always sealed again.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps where walls meet ceilings or slabs
- Gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated
- Gaps flagged on a fire risk assessment
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
Rented homes near Harlow Mill station change hands often, and fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.

What fire rated sealant looks like in Loyter's 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, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. 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 Parish Church of St Mary Magdalen, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking.

When it is not the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Issuing a fire rating or certificate for a building
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution

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
- Check whether a sealant can be painted before decorating over it
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Tell trades working in the building that fire seals must be put back
Any fire seal that is cut or drilled needs resealing to its tested detail. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
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.
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, then guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes from a few hours to a few days, depending on the number of gaps and the access. Somewhere like Loyter's Green needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We plan the order of work and access, floor by floor or flat by flat.
- We take out any damaged or unsuitable sealant.
- Dust and loose debris are cleaned from each gap.
- The fire-rated or intumescent sealant is applied and tooled to the tested detail.
- Locations and products are written up and any gaps unsuitable for sealant are flagged.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
