About our fire rated sealant in Much Hadham
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. We work on flats & HMOs, door frames and pipe & cable gaps, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Much Hadham, washroom and kitchen sealant and any fire-rated joints need the same attention as anywhere.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Store the list of sealed gaps with your building paperwork
- Get damaged fire seals looked at promptly
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
Follow the cure time we give you before decorating over the sealant. Some fire-rated sealants can be painted and some cannot and we will tell you which one you have.
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 normally a straightforward job.

Much Hadham questions
Is Much Hadham in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Much Hadham is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Bishops Stortford station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can you fill the gap behind a fire door frame?
Yes. The joint between frame and wall is sealed with a fire-rated sealant following the tested details. The door leaf and its hardware need a door specialist.
Is standard sealant good enough for a fire gap?
No. A gap that needs fire stopping needs a tested fire-rated product.
What fire rating will the seal have?
Ratings and certification sit with the product’s test evidence and whoever specified the work. We apply the specified product to the manufacturer’s details and list the locations and products for you.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Is intumescent sealant the same as fire-rated sealant?
Intumescent describes a material that swells in heat. Intumescent sealants are a type of fire-rated sealant, and the choice depends on the gap.
Why it’s worth doing now in Much Hadham
Leaving a gap until a refurbishment comes round can mean years with it open. On its own, sealing it now is a small job and needn’t wait for anything else. Around Much Hadham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Surface by surface
Flats and HMOs
Conversions usually leave a mix of old and new service holes. The gaps on your list are sealed with a fire-rated product and the locations noted.
Linear gaps
Some linear gaps have to cope with movement as well as fire. The product and depth are chosen to suit both from the manufacturer’s details.
Workplaces and buildings in Much Hadham
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.
Rented homes near Bishops Stortford station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant. If you look after a building such as St Andrew's CofE Primary School and Nursery, fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in. For buildings such as Parish Church of St Andrew, gaps around pipes and cables are worth checking after any building work there.

Can I do it myself?
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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
