Commercial buildings in Puckeridge
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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
If you look after a church, hall or community building such as Church of St Mary, service openings in its walls need the right fire-rated sealant, as in any building.

About our fire rated sealant in Puckeridge
A fire seal relies on being installed the way it was tested: the right depth, the right backing and the right product for the substrate. That detail is what we take care over, one gap at a time. We are often asked to deal with sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list and unsealed gaps where pipes and cables go through a wall, across plasterboard & masonry, pipe & cable gaps and flats & HMOs.
In a smaller place like Puckeridge, commercial jobs tend to be smaller buildings: a pub, a surgery, a school, a shop or a few business units. Each needs the same care with its sealant as any larger building.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Quotes for fire rated sealant in Puckeridge
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Where the property is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
- Doors that are not fire doors in the first place
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Puckeridge
Is Puckeridge in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Puckeridge is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Puckeridge?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes. We often seal open gaps hidden behind the architrave. Doors, seals and closers need a door specialist.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Why deal with it now?
Doing it once, properly, beats doing it twice. Work that does not follow the tested detail may have to come out again when the building is next checked. Around Puckeridge, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
Why book with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- We’re fully insured
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- We leave the area clean and tidy

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Make resealing part of every contractor’s brief
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Don’t fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
Do not add foam, filler or ordinary sealant over a fire seal. If it needs repair, use the same type of product. We can tell you which product we used.
It’s easiest to seal gaps while they’re few and easy to reach. Leave them and each new job adds another hole.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building and we leave things clean and tidy. In a smaller place like Puckeridge, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Before starting, we go through the specification or action list with you.
- Each gap is measured and its substrate and service noted.
- Any non-fire-rated filler is removed and the gap cleaned.
- We fit backing where needed and apply the fire-rated sealant to depth.
- Every location is recorded with the product used for your records.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.

What we are called out for in Puckeridge
Door frames are a common weak spot. The architrave hides the gap between frame and wall, so it can be left open when a door is replaced.
The most common problems we see are:
- Fire seals that have cracked with movement
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Roger De Clare First CofE School, gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
What your quote should include
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Are they insured?
