About our fire rated sealant in Sibley's Green
Until it’s heated, intumescent sealant behaves like an ordinary sealant; then it swells to help close the gap. The right product depends on the gap size, the substrate and what passes through. If you’re dealing with gaps around pipes and cables through fire-resisting walls and linear gaps at the head of walls, we can put it right, on door frames, linear gaps and pipe & cable gaps alike.
If you have holiday lets, a converted barn used for business or a community building near Sibley'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.

Fire rated sealant in Sibley's Green: local notes
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 apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
If you let a flat or house near Stansted Airport station, any gap left by new services in shared walls should be closed with a fire-rated product.

Signs you need fire rated sealant in Sibley's Green
If the sealant is too shallow, has the wrong backing or sits on a dusty surface, it is not installed as tested. We see plenty of fire stopping that was hurried particularly when it was the last job before handover.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Open holes round services passing through fire walls
- Open gaps behind door architraves
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Open joints along the top of partitions
Schools such as Putteridge High School are buildings too, and service openings in fire-resisting walls need checking after any refurbishment.

Why act early in Sibley's Green
If an assessor has flagged gaps, it makes sense to close them before the next review. Getting them done and written up gives you evidence that the item was dealt with. Older cottages and farmhouses around Sibley's Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

What we can’t put right

- Fire doors that need new seals, closers or hardware
- Walls or floors that weren’t built to resist fire
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work in Sibley's Green
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Service penetrations
Surface by surface
Door frames
Our work is the joint between frame and wall. Doors, seals and closers are for a door specialist, and we’ll say if we spot a problem with them.
Plasterboard walls
In plasterboard walls, the condition of the board edge matters. Crumbling edges are cleaned back before the sealant goes in.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
