Fire rated sealant in St Albans
We often work from an action list drawn up by a fire risk assessor on buildings across St Albans. If you share the list, we can quote for the gaps that need fire-rated sealant. We work on flats & HMOs, linear gaps and plasterboard & masonry, and people most often call us about joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey and seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers.
For landlords in a large town like St Albans, sealant work comes in two kinds: resealing bathrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated sealant where pipes pass through walls. A single flat or a whole portfolio can be quoted.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in St Albans and across Hertfordshire.

What we are called out for in St Albans
Gaps also open up as buildings move: cracked or debonded sealant leaves an open route through the wall. Damage from cleaning, knocks and maintenance adds to it.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Fire stopping disturbed by later work
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Unsealed gaps around fire door frames
- Standard silicone or caulk in a fire-stopping gap
Schools such as Loreto College are buildings too, and gaps opened by contractors for new cabling are a common finding in schools and offices.
Before booking anyone
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What product goes in the joint
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Questions from St Albans
Is St Albans in your area for fire rated sealant?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and St Albans is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near St Albans station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will you assess my building’s fire safety?
No, assessment isn’t something we do. Once you have a specification or action list from your assessor or designer, we will quote for the sealant work on it.
How long does fire rated sealant take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a handful of gaps, and longer for a whole building. We will tell you when we quote.
Do you do fire sealant around door frames?
Yes, if the gap is within the product’s tested range. Our work is the gap around the frame, and we will mention anything we notice about the door.
Do you certify the fire stopping?
We don’t certify fire stopping or quote ratings. Our part is installing the specified product to its tested details and giving you a record of where it went.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Why act early in St Albans
A quick fill with any sealant to hand isn’t fire stopping. A fire-rated product only performs as tested when it’s installed to its tested detail, which is why we match the product and the method to each gap. Busy buildings in St Albans, from hotels to offices, can’t afford rooms out of use for leaks or mould, so failing joints are best replaced on a planned basis.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Photograph sealed gaps before they’re covered up
- Keep the record of products and locations with your fire safety documents
- Do not fill fire-stopping gaps with ordinary foam or silicone
- Include hidden areas like risers in routine checks
Include fire stopping in your regular building checks. Watch for cracking, gaps or seals that have been disturbed and have them put right.
A flagged gap shouldn’t wait for the next assessment. Get it sealed and recorded.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Assessing a building’s fire safety
- Problems with the door itself rather than the gap around the frame
- 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 email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Fire rated sealant around St Albans
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around St Albans. Hotel work can be planned room by room, with out-of-hours working where needed. 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 work to the specification you’re given, installing the product to its tested details.
For buildings such as Church of St. Peter, older buildings that have had new heating or wiring often have service gaps worth checking. Rented homes near St Albans station change hands often, and new cables or pipes through a fire-resisting wall leave a gap that needs the right sealant.
